Need advice on order of install

[Kens1990K2500]

I am going to be replacing both front fenders, and both front wheelwells (sometimes referred to as inner fenders), as all four parts are corroded. The replacement fenders are clean, used aftermarket ones. The wheelwells are new aftermarket parts.

My question is, what is the best/easiest order of removal and installation? Should I try to remove the fender with the inner wheelwell still attached to it (which was how I did it when removing the fenders at the junkyard)? Or should I try to remove the old wheelwells first, then the fenders?

Then, when I go to install the new parts, should I install the fenders first, then the wheelwells, or, would it be better to install the wheelwells to the fenders while they are off the truck, and then install them as an assembly?

I will remove the front bumper and grille to ease removal/assembly; is there any other thing I should remove to ease removal of the fenders/wheelwells?

where did you get the new aftermarket wheel wells?

where did you get the new aftermarket wheel wells?

There is a distributor a few towns away from me, Bichun Truck Parts, in Cranston, R.I. I like them because they don't charge shipping, I just went there and picked them up.

I do the fenders first then the inners. No particular reason, it just works for me.
