New Tubes Arrived today

My old tubes had a lot of dents and I wanted to replace them. Bigger is Better Right
Got them from American Classic Truck Parts. $100 less than Brothers

I'll take a look at them. I either need to widen the ones I have or invest in a set of those for my Dually project. Did they fit pretty good?

I see they are 16" wide. I will have to measure and see how much extra width I need. I estimated 3".

Thanks for posting them.

I flipped the picture. I didn't get a chance to measure mine but I don't think I need one that much wider. Thanks.

They are fairly easy to modify.
Just make sure you start cutting pass the curve.
