No more tub rubbin PICS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1LIME69 · 04-30-2011, 10:22 PM

Wondering what you guys thought about my new wider tubs. Streched each side 5". Plenty of room for my 20x12"s now. The guy even matched my dull paint with base/clear(flat clear). Just thought I'd give my paint/body guy some props. I did all the cuttin and drilling but, I leave the sanding and painting to someone who knows what they're doing.

**N2TRUX** · 04-30-2011, 10:31 PM

Very nice. Now cover up the filler for the fuel cell so no one is wise to ya.

1LIME69 · 04-30-2011, 10:33 PM

Yeah I know. Thinking of a clever way to do that without looking like I'm trying to do that. If that makes sense? lol

Big Block · 04-30-2011, 10:48 PM

Looks great. Nice truck. How about some pictures of that motor?

1low · 04-30-2011, 10:53 PM

looks awsome

**GruntMoanCough** · 04-30-2011, 11:39 PM

Very well done, both of you! Cool licence plate, too.

OJ1988 · 04-30-2011, 11:56 PM

Are these prefab, or did you add metal?

nicely done!!!

elf w/capital T · 05-01-2011, 06:58 AM

legit!

99-LS1-SS · 05-01-2011, 07:54 AM

Very nice and from NC!

1LIME69 · 05-01-2011, 09:01 AM

No these aren't pre-fab. I just found another set and cut both sets to end up with a 5" wider tub on each side.
BIG BLOCK I'll throw in a pic but it's still dirty from the paint shop.

prostreetC-10 · 05-01-2011, 10:18 AM

Yeah baby!!!!!!

Course mine are MUCH more sanitary than yours. You should have went for the clean look but oh well..... LMAO

Good job on forming that final groove. That was the only hard part for me.

How about a rubber bed mat? It will cover everything up and can be flipped up to fill the cell.

**Hart_Rod** · 05-01-2011, 11:52 AM

Looks nice! What backspacing did you end up going with?

EDIT: How about some pictures with the new wheels?????? I like sleepers and your choice of wheels,

Like I said prostreetC-10 I had nothing to do with the final body work. Have to give that credit to my body man. Sports Car Collision (McAdenville,NC)
Good idea N2TRUX but I'm thinking of maybe some kind of toolbox or spare tire or something along those lines.

prostreetC-10 · 05-01-2011, 03:55 PM

It's such a better look than going with a CE kit or something like that. Great for conversation too! By the time I got mine done, I was so burned out I said "on to something else".

Mount a dummy gooseneck hitch on top of it.

**Tom Vogel** · 05-01-2011, 09:50 PM

1lime... I love those Vintecs, they have a cool slot/retro look. I seriously considered them for my Jimmy. What has stopped me is... I just don't see how a wheel with that much diameter and corresponding lack of sidewall can hook in the face of BB torque. How is that working for you?
If Hart Rod reads this, he can answer too. Lol

1LIME69 · 05-01-2011, 10:13 PM

I think the backspacing on the rear was 7". Wish I would have narrowed my rearend first to get less backspacing but no turning back now. What did you go with Hart Rod? Sweet truck by the way.
They actually hook up suprisingly well, but I am running a Nitto Drag Radial. Wish they had a taller drag radial to fill up my fender well but that's the tallest they offer so far. Here are some pics.

oldblue1968chevy · 05-01-2011, 10:25 PM

Nice nice nice....

Ackattack · 05-01-2011, 11:03 PM

Looks nice, here's mine

Zoomin · 05-01-2011, 11:13 PM

Love it!

**70cst** · 05-01-2011, 11:20 PM

SWEET SWEET SWEET SWEET SWEET

1LIME69 · 05-02-2011, 08:59 PM

Looks like your well on your way Ackattack! How much are yours widened?

Anyone think I should change over to a 68' frontend besides me?
