Re: Rear fender widening?

I also think the wider bed looks better. If you do decide to widen the fenders---don't use a strip wider than the gap you are filling---As in, don't overlap the sheet metal. Butt weld your filler strip. Over lapped sheet metal shows distortion at different temps. If may look perfect in the garage but distort slightly when it is put into the sun for a while.
