90's stepside re-worked wheel arches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cris well · 12-24-2009, 12:38 AM

does anyone on here have a 90's stepside bed with the wheel arches made to match the front ones on a 67-72?

personally i don't like the look mainly because the arches are different.

they look decent on the 62-66 trucks though because the arches are similar.

please post some pics if anyone has any.

there's been a couple photos come to surface on he web, Quite a few of the members here liked it, so i am sure you'll get the photo you are looking for.
Just make sure you look over every line, and how the general shapes flow (or don't flow in all reality) before spending a lot of money.

here's a couple pics of my stepside. one picture show how well the body lines line up.

AusMarty · 12-24-2009, 07:31 PM

Just my opinion, But I prefer the openings left standard, especially when the truck is lowered it makes the truck look even lower

i'm not gonna do it, i was just curious if anyone else had done it and how it would look.

how about one with the front wheel wells squared to match the back. anyone ever seen one done like that?

if so, any pics?

Yeah, I don't think it looked terribly good

Ah, just so you know....This is the actual truck. The modified fender opening is a photoshop that I did more than 5 years ago.

It sure does. If I recall Mike did a lot of work to it. It's one of my favorites.
And hey Mike. Haven't seen you on in a while.
