Stepside fender options. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Okay guys, so I'm working on my project and I built the rear end for it to lay all the way out, but I'm running a stepside bed and the rear will only be able to go down until the tire hits the top of the fender. In a Classic Trucks magazine a guy with a '56 Chevy made his stepside lay the bottom of the fender over 20's. It looks like he added a piece to the fender in the front to extend it down. Has anyone else on here done that or are there any other options to get my rear end closer to the ground without going to super small tires? Thanks guys.

It looks like, with a set of donor fenders, you may be able to extend the front and back of both rear fenders. Although extending the back will make them stick further back, it could look pretty cool.

That guy raised the bed, then extended the height of the rear fender to line the step back up with the rockers. Looks great IMO
