Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
Although I know that there are under bed tire carrier's and in bed tire mounts for these pick ups, but has anyone ever tried to put a burb interior wheel well in a pickup bed???...Would it even work??....This picture kinda made me think it's possible (it's a custom burb wood area)....thoughts?

Re: Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
I noticed one just the other day and thought it was a nice mod. It was on a long bed and was up near the cab behind the driverside. The tire was below the top rail and looked very discreet. I think it could be a really great mod, just drill out a drain hole for sure.

Re: Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
There was a thread on this a couple years ago with a couple more examples but I can't find it. It was just like jorgensensc describes, in front of the wheel well.

Re: Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
just go to tractor supply and get a generic trailer fender, add some sheet metal to it and use that. Brobably a lot easier than locating and removing one from a 40+ year old burb

Re: Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
I'm thinking it could be secured the same way as a stepside mounted wheel is or even rear mount spare wheels, such as jeeps or other 4x4's. Just a thought.

Re: Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
I always thought this would be a cool idea. I really cant believe I missed the two other threads on this. Just goes to show no matter how much you live on this board you are always going to miss something.
I saved a wheel well off a burb just in case I wanted to try it someday. Hmmm, I wonder if I could make one big enough to hold a 33 12.5 16.5 tire for my K20? Ok thats probably a little too big =) Plus my panel doesnt have a rear well like the burb, that could be another use for it.

Re: Burb Wheel Well in Pickup bed?
Here is a long shot (kinda hard to see)...
" ![]() Truck is not done yet. The well holds a 33x12.50-15, with about 2" sticking up above the rail. I'll get a shot with the tire for you. I am using a repro factory hold down from LMC to tie it in. Dont know why its upside down... Thanks to whom ever turner it over, I'm a computard. Last edited by Dunenutt; 02-04-2011 at 10:11 AM. Reason: it's upside down |
