Re: wider wheel tubs
Well it is better in many ways to weld them in and it is a easy bend of sheet metal in any lenght and a half moon side panel....

Re: wider wheel tubs
I think most people use two standard rear wheel wells to make a wide one by cutting and welding them together. That way you have a stock like appearance, but I'm not sure anyone makes a steel one. I was thinking someone made a fiberglass one, but I can't remember who.

Re: wider wheel tubs
I am making my own in my 79 square body. If you have a local sheet metal shop they should be able to help you out. You would need to make a cardboard template for them.
Here are some pics of mine. 19" wide. They are not done I have been messing with it in my spare time. Will probably sand them, self etch prime them and paint body color. Richard
