This may sound strange but I like it, raw and cool at the same time

LOL brings new meaning to the term "barreling down the road"

These are from a late 60's to early 70's Chevy truck. You can buy these new or search the bone yards. A sheet of aluminum will go on top of the plywood.

I went with mini tubs (2 3/4") just to allow me to run the 10" wide rims.

Just curious where you got the tubs from? I've seen some that were fiberglass and some that are metal. Which ones do you have? Any tips or tricks or anything you would've done differently with them? Thanks

Mine are the steel ones from Dennis Carpenter truck parts. I like the shape of them but they were not cheap and I cut a lot off them since the floor of the bed was raised for the suspension. No regrets other then how much I spent on them.....It took some time to mold them into the angle strips of the bed sides.

1Bad62.
I just checked out your build.
You actually use gas to thin the rustoleum?
Do you use a primer under it?

No primer.
Well we use a little bit of gas.
The gasoline is being used as a catalyst.
Gasoline is a petroleum bi-product which works well with the Oil Based Rust-Oleum.
It really works well!
