Re: Project: Shiro
Well, we are starting with a rougher canvas than we thought but with the products, advice, and a helping hand from the good folks on this board I am sure we can end up with a pretty sweet ride.
On another note; I wish those Delmo Specials of yours would fit my truck. That is a smokin' deal of some seriously rad wheels!

Re: Project: Shiro
Going to do a little stretch job to the rear wheel tubs. Need a little more clearance for the new wheels and tires.

Re: Project: Shiro
Why, were they beat up? I plan on splitting two sets to make one wide set.

Re: Project: Shiro
A little bit , after taking a hammer and dolly to them they will still end up with a skim coat of filler to make them decent. I used 1" of one tub and 5" of another tub to create them. Leaves me 2 big halves to build a pair of wider tubs for a fleet side. Started with 4 tubs. I cut the steside bed wall and they bolt in like factory.

Re: Project: Shiro
So I spent the day getting my butt kicked by these wheel tubs, I did make some progress. didn't widen the a lot, just 1.5" to give the tires more room. Next time I have some garage time I will figure out how I'm going to handle the bed floor...

Re: Project: Shiro
Thanks gentlemen, it took a whole day just to get to this point. Going to study on the path for the bed floor, hard way or easy way...

Re: Project: Shiro
You'd be surprised what you can accomplish with an extra 1.5".

Re: Project: Shiro
I like them too... but it will be about balancing the amount of white in the cab so I won't rule out a gauge with a black face.
Thanks, the real test will be what they look like when I'm done welding on them. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
Tubs looks good Buck..Gauges are nice too...One suggestion would be if your keeping the blue interior then i would do white face with blue numbers and needles!

![]() Got to work in the garage some today, cut the bed floor and welded up the tubs. Still need to grind the welds and then I think I may have a guy I know pop a mold off of them. If people are interested in buying stretched wheel tubs I may be able to help them out... make it easy for them. ![]() Sorry some of the pics are crappy it was about 0100 when I finished and came in. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
Yep, I didn't want to get into the raised ribs in the bed floor. This gave me the clearance I needed with minimal fabrication, which is good because my sheet metal welding skills are a little rough. I like welding on the thick stuff where you can really burn it in.
