Re: New Product: Shortened rear wheel tubs for Slammed rear trucks
I just figured out that the tubs will fit the 73-87 C10s just a well as they fit the 67-72s! They will also fit the 60-66's trucks, but will require a small amount of fiberglass work. Let me know if you have any questions.

Curious..... Are you adding additional material to the flange to install these in the 73-87's? It seemed like when I test fit my mini-tubbed 67-72 wheel tubs on the bed floor of my dually, the flanges were about 2" shy on each end from being long enough.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

I did see that & its why I asked. I built mini-tubs for my old 68 swb. I had the tubs sitting around so I mocked them up on my duallys bed floor. When sitting directly on top of the wheel opening in the floor, the 67-72 tubs were short vs the floor opening.
