On your 8s and 10s, you will need 4" bs in front and 5" bs in rear for the wheels to tuck. Good luck with your truck.
thank you for welcoming me, and thank you for the wheel spacing advise. Ill probably have to look up back spacing. Ive come to unanimous decision to get new fenders from Classic industrys. There a lil cheaper than LMC trucks, like $10, so is many of the other stepside parts..

thanks motor nut, i have never heard of wood beds or seen em before, its pretty unique. Everyone tells me to get metal and not waste my time!!

Question Re: Hey yall im new here. And i have a few questions

Whatcha think? Not very classy like most ive seen for the stepside, i was going for a rounder light but this is all i could find.
