Fleetside wheel tubs
 
Who builds reproductions of the wheel tubs for our trucks?

I found 67 and up, nothing for ours.

Bought mine from Top Banana. Believe they're all made by the same company, but TB had the best price.

Shipping might be cheaper since they're closer

pulled mine from a junkyard and will use them and my originals to stretch out a few inches

Wow, I had no idea they were the same part on each side?

Well ordered them. I will be sectioning them into my old ones to increase the width by 4 inches.

This combined with the C-Notch spring flip and pan hard bar should transform my truck quite a bit.

Kind of excited, been wanting to do this for 20 years.

Sounds like a great project. Before the reproductions were available, I used a couple of damaged tubs I found at a salvage yard and used mine that were damaged on the opposite sides to stretch them 6 inches.
