Thanks!

The rear wheel wells are widened 5.25" inches and I put a Ford 9" rearend under it. I went with the 9" because it was already narrower than the stock rearend at 58" outside to outside. The rearend is from a late 60's Bronco. I really wanted the big lip on the rear wheels which are 20x10 with 3" back spacing. The inside of the wheel wells now are even with the outside of the frame, but actually wider than necessary. I went 5.25" so that the wheel wells would bolt down like stock, and that was the distance to the next trough in the bed steel.

A few more photos of various stages... the yellow long box Cheyenne was the starting point.

Re: First Time to Show my Truck

What a beautiful truck! I'm normally not a fan of red but your truck does the justice, or red does your truck justice, which ever way it goes. I take it you used the late model cab and shortened the frame?

Actually I got a swb frame from a friend for cheap, but until then I had planned to shorten my frame.

A few more photos of different stages...
