PROJECT: "FULL METAL YELLOW JACKET Build Thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=321173

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.

Mainly for looks.
