Funny.

Gman7 · 04-22-2011, 07:10 PM

Greg,
great truck and project I am following for a long time. I have one question: did you have to remove the support to fit your rear tires under the fender?

mylow53 · 04-23-2011, 06:17 PM

Thanks and yes no support in the front or rear. No other way to clear the tire. So far no issues 10k driven sofar

Hey Greg, do you have any pictures of when you installed the wheel tubs? I see them after they were installed but I was looking for build shots. We are fixing to order some.

Thanks Bernie

mylow53 · 07-28-2011, 11:46 PM

I'll look

all i could find are these

pgf545 · 07-29-2011, 09:16 AM

Thanks Greg, Did you guy weld them in from the back? Its hard to tell. I was looking at the ones from Dan Carpenter and was thinking about drilling holes in the flange and plug welding them in from the back side.

Bernie

**youngrodder** · 07-29-2011, 10:36 AM

I used the same tubs..Mine where cut a little shorter because my floor bed had to be raised.

Youngrodder,

Man that green is killing me. I love that color.

Mylow53,

I did not see you at The Brothers Truck this year.

Thanks Kabwe.....It looks different all of the time. Kind of like a tri-coat but it is only just B/C.

Man I really like it alot. It looks great.

mylow53 · 07-29-2011, 10:58 AM

yes plug welded. unlike young rodder mine extend thru the bed. also i removed the angle bracket that runs the length of the bed. Instead i put some smaller brackets under the bed. i think young rodders method would be stronger if your hauling but i like how mine go thru the wood

**youngrodder** · 07-29-2011, 11:22 AM

Greg-

Mine also ran through the bed and they were welded inside and out. I like you aproach on the L brackes underneith. It looks very clean. I also went back and forth on how to handle the transtion from the L bracket to the tub. I like what I ended up setteling on but it was trial and error.
