Looks good.

Looks great! Killer conversion. It takes some effort to do it the right way, but the payoff is worth it.

OEM parts are the way to go for something like this.

Yes, I kinda cheated. Couldn't see wasting good metal all the way around the opening so I just cut the lower edges front and back. The lower rear fender openings flare out which interferes with the dually fender.

Truck will probably never get lowered unless the Camper goes away
, but right now it works for me.

I will post some pics later today.
