Tubbed stepsides
Who here has done a full tub or mini tub on their step? Since we don't have any "inner fender" to start with, I can't really extend or widen like I would on a car. I thought about using premade blank tubs but due to expense thought about maybe using trailer fenders like I did when I tubbed my s10. Thoughts?

Re: Tubbed stepsides
I used a trailer fender from the local Farm Supply store. (1) fender, then band sawed it down the middle = (2) mini tubs. I then welded some bed angles around it to attach the wood to.
It is functional, but not show quality for sure. It's a shop truck... good enough. http://inlinethumb57.webshots.com/58...600x600Q85.jpg |

454 stepside used some fleet side inner fender and just cut the holes in the bed sides and floor that match.

Check out my build thread bud.
PROJECT: "FULL METAL YELLOW JACKET Build Thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=321173 http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...10228-1552.jpg http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...10217-1515.jpg http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...10216-1511.jpg http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1297721007 What I have done on my truck is a mini tub due to the fact of my rear end setup. My '62 has a Custom Rear Suspension with a 58 Ford Wagon 9” Rear End. 57-59 Ranchero and station wagon had 57.25 iches (narrowest 9" housing). Rear-end / Ratio: 3.70 Gear Ratio /One Legger for now. Competition Engineering Rear Coil-Over Shock Kit with 250lb Springs. Upgraded 11” Drums & Brakes. Rear wheels: Weld Racing Draglite 90-Series Wheel 15 x 12. Rear tires: Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro Tire, 29x15.50-15LT. Now I did do a similar application like lakeroadster did. But since I have the bed tore down I am going to change that. The bed floor will be higher now due to the coil overs. Maybe a custom steel bed with Competition Engineering Wheel Tubs. Why I am thinking about doing is using Competition Engineering Steel Wheel Tubs. http://www.eraceware.com/images/prod...OM/COM3007.jpg Mainly for looks. http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/200/247/247-3006.jpg http://image.truckinweb.com/f/str8up...uel-cell-b.jpg Also check the links out below: ((((Post your 60-66 Pro/Street or Drag Trucks)))) http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=4548208 Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=388977 Wheel Tubs http://thecustomconnectiononline.com...bc760f560b57bf |
