That is awesome news Keith in finding such great pieces. I am excited to see how this bad boy finishes up.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yeah i couldn't believe my luck finding these fenders. I can't wait to get this truck done, just wish i had more time to work on it. I'm really hoping to get it done by next summer.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
You could always run a Coy's 20x8.5 out back, or a 22x9. But, if you're gonna tub anyway, why not go for the 20x14!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yeah I don't know what i'm going to do yet. If I decide to tub the bedsides then I can keep my 20x10 Coys I already have in the rear. I would just leave some room for some wider meats in the future. My biggest concern is will my rear rims with the 5.5" backspacing and the early rear end clear the outside lip of the step side fender. As long as it clears there, I will probably just end up tubbing the bedsides so I don't have to put out anymore money for wheels at this time. We will see. This option will also always leave me plenty of room to run any Rim/Tire combo in the rear in the future.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith ! My brotha ..
Stepper huh ? Honestly I was a bit concerned about your wheel setup when I read you were going with the stepper. I talked to Keith (N2Billet) a while back and his bagged 71 (Stella) is running a 265/40/22 on a 22x9 with 5" BS on an early housing. So, with that in mind .. your 20x10 with 5.5" BS will be .5" wider to the outside and inside (but your BS covers the inside extra width) I'm pretty sure Raull has 22x9 / 5" BS as well. Keith has to trim Stella just a little too. I'm not sure you want to cut into the fenders (?) I have a 20x8.5 with 4.75"BS on my stepper. 255/45/20 on the rear, and it clears nicely. Narrow / early housing. I could lay it completely out and still have 1/4" or so on either side (lip / beside) with no problems. I have the PB stuff for my stepper, it is going lower .. I promise My thoughts were 22x9 - .25 on either side so I don't have to trim it = 20x8.5 with 4.75" BS. It was measured with a Wheelrite and it is perfect IMO. Dude, you could sell the Coys. NP. Just put it up on stands and get the wheels you want.

On a side note you said your truck is going lower, does that mean bags

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Got back on the truck this weekend. Saturday I seam sealed the bottom of the cab, let that dry overnight and then today I applied 2 coats of Duplicolor roll on bedliner. I think it came out pretty well and should hopefully prevent any future rust issues. Plus the cab floor sounds super solid now when I knock on it.

All she says to me is "as long as the bills are paid I don't care, I just want you to be happy". I couldnt ask for anymore.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Adam, I just have to figure out what I want to do with the my wheels. I keep thinking just sell them and buy some Billet wheels that will fit up under those fenders with no mods to the bedsides. After the honeymoon I will figure it out.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Very nice progress on the cab. Congras on the bed too. I love the steppers almost as much as the fleets. Keep the pics coming.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Mike, i decided I wanted to be a little different with this one. It seems everybody takes off the Step Bed for a Fleet so I went the opposite direction I wouldn't have done it if my fleetside was in good shape but since I had to buy a new bed anyway i figured why not. I love the look of Steppers, especially bagged steppers . I'll get back on it after the Honeymoon.
