Fleetside wheel tubs
Who builds reproductions of the wheel tubs for our trucks?
I found 67 and up, nothing for ours. |

Re: Fleetside wheel tubs
Bought mine from Top Banana. Believe they're all made by the same company, but TB had the best price.

Re: Fleetside wheel tubs
Wow, I had no idea they were the same part on each side?
Well ordered them. I will be sectioning them into my old ones to increase the width by 4 inches. This combined with the C-Notch spring flip and pan hard bar should transform my truck quite a bit. Kind of excited, been wanting to do this for 20 years. |

Re: Fleetside wheel tubs
Sounds like a great project. Before the reproductions were available, I used a couple of damaged tubs I found at a salvage yard and used mine that were damaged on the opposite sides to stretch them 6 inches.
