Re: my lil big truck, tell me what you think

definitely makes the step side bed look better the way you have shortened it up. Did you mean to say the wheels were 15's?

also what size tires are those and also what's been done with the front and back wheel openings?

yeah they are 15" wagon wheels, and they have 33x12.50 tires on them. and the wheel openings, well where do i start lol. The rears you can see from one of the pics where it was welded back togethor, i actually cut the wheel opening out of each fender with more metal on one side then swithed them side for side to move it forward in the fender to get it to line up with the wheel base of the truck. Now the fronts i took a pie shaped piece out of the rear and laid the stock wheel opening back to give it more clearance and retain the stock lip, and the front of the front fender i trimmed even with the bottom of the radiator support and boxed them off.
