Step side wheel tubs..(need pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well since my truck is apart and will be getting paint work I think I may go ahead and do some wheel tubs in the bed. I don’t know exactly how I want to do them. I’ve thought about hacking up some fleet side tubs and vie also thought about just doing some plain circular ones. If you guys could show me what you have done that would be great

I'm contemplating the same. The circular ones could be made smaller, but would need to be welded in. I like the ideal of cut and re-welded fleetside wells becuase it seems they could be bolted in place requireing less finish out work. I'd like to do it without repainting my inner bedsides. Look forward to pics of others solutions...

I dont want to repaint the inner bedsides unless I have to. I think what I do will be a bolt in reguardless og which one I go with.

You could go either way, but the stock fleetside inner tubs tend to have a more "factory" appearance, but the half circular tubs tend to have a more custom look with a touch of race truck feel. If that makes any sense at all.

I've considered this as well, but I'm just really unsure if I want to cut up my almost perfect bedsides. If I do it, I'll use fleetside inner tubs.
