I'm not really a fan of the look, but the it seems to work with the duel'ies.

To my understanding you can remove the 73-87 rear fenders and replace them with 67-72 rear versions easily. Not a fan of the 73-87 versions on the rear either.

Just to make a point,we have a 68 Camaro in our family we bought from a friend.........its a drag car and has had alot of work but look at the picture and you will see why I plead and beg my brothers to let me take on the project of re-doing the rear wheel wells to their natural look. I have no clue why the previous owner changed them to what they have now or what they came off of but it totally ruins the look as Im sure you will all see.

The car will be in Shreveport later this month for PINKS ALL OUT so some of you may see it in person.
Well CRAP,seems the pic I have is very small sorry. I will get another cleaner one.

chop tops look awful on these trucks, I guess the reason i like these beds so much is the first truck i ever liked had that bed on it, just kinda stuck with me to build that exact truck. if it makes you guys feel better we have a org step and fleet truck as well
73-87 stepsides YUCK just not the same,

Found the larger version,still tough to see but Camaro purist can tell somethings not right with the rear wheel wells and NO they are not 69 wheel wells.........I have looked them over well and still cant determine what they are off of.

I am not downing them by no means as alot of these pictures have had lots of work to make them match.Im just a purist on the 67-72 trucks and love them with subtle mods and I as well dont like chopped tops on them unless its a subtle one.Your truck is very nicely done so is the orange one a member here owns and I would be proud to have it in my garage/driveway.
