only difference would be if one is a dual(stacked)headlights, or single headlights(turns under the headlights) on the radiator/core support

As long as both trucks have dual headlights, it should all be completely interchangeable. There will be noticeable differences as far as body color and grille and headlight bezel design. But all parts will interchange.

How about new fenders online? Do the replacement have that angle on them?

If your core support isn't hurt, take what you need off the used clip.  If it were me I would go good used OEM over any aftermarket stuff.

Even if you need the quad lamp radiator support that's an excellent deal for the rest. 
Buy a support and grille from salvage and sell the dual lamp parts or just convert to dual lamps.
