SLOSH TUBZ..bolt in inner fenders for 67-72 chevys

[67cheby]

Yes i guess i should take pics of that also !! they are clear by a couple inches all the way around, even when layed out !

Your wheels have ALOT more backspacing than the normal off the shelf wheels.
(your wheels are the same as a 20x8.5 with a 6" BS, or a 20x8 with a 5.5" BS.)

How close are you to the top of the tub at the step in the tub?
Most wheels will be 3/4"-1" closer to the outer edge of the fender.

Do you think there is room to move the wheels out?

[67cheby]

i will have to look at that tonight and see my guess would be exactly what you said 3/4 to 1 inch ...it will be close when fully dumped.

Lolife99 and I have been discussing fitment and clearance's with the Slosh Tubz, i just got though talking to him and this is one of my thoughts. With so many different front end configurations out there ie..Dropmember, disc brakes, Zd frames, different off sets on wheels, different wheel sizes and different tire size.......My Slosh Tubz might not cover every issue and every different offset or tire size for eveyone , what they will do is offer a bolt in inner fender built out of a durable fiberglass that can be very easily modified if your truck has a certain area that needs tweaked to fit your specific needs. Now i know that noone wants to have to modify a brand new part that they have just purchased....but with all of the variables that are involved with a front suspension and the limited space for everything to clear ..(.like for me i wanted to not cut out the hood chanel) but someone with more outside offset might choose to remove the hood chanel there and bring that hump part of the tub all the way over , if that is something you need to do and you arent confident with your fiberglass working abilities, i can offer that as an additional cost (no extra profit just enough to cover the labor and materials) i will try to accomodate everyone in every way i can, just remember i am just a little guy trying to make a dream come to life !! so if there is anything i can do to help anyone just let me know !!

I understand that it can't fit every possible scenario out there, but it looks to be a real good start and most may not have to modify them at all. I, on the other hand will probably have to cut them to pieces and re-glass them to fit in my engine bay since I went the opposite way of most everybody on this forum and grafted in a 1979 Camaro Z-28 front suspension (highly modified of course). I'm still not finished getting everything to fit the way I want it to, even without the inner fenders in the way, but when I am ready I will probably be ordering a set of these as it will be easier to modify these to fit than start from scratch like you did. Good job making your dream a reality.

Thank you !! i appreciate that , have any engine compartment pics of yours ??

[smbrouss70]

I looked through all my pics in my photobucket account and none of them show the engine compartment too good. I'll try to get you some this weekend if you want, but the main problems are that the frame is quite a bit wider than the original truck frame and my tires will probably come up into different spot (front to rear & side to side) than those of you with dropmembers.

[67cheby]

there is a ton of room all the way around the tire and wheel, even when turned lock to lock and mine are 20x9's...i bet you will have the room you need !

[67cheby]

another set of SLOSH TUBZ delivered, 3 more sets ordered....cant wait for this thing to blow up and take off!!

[Jparks]

any updates on the "high hump" version?

[denny5625]

Thos things look awesome! Congrats man!

[67cheby]

thanks guys, hopefully getting back to work on the high humps in a little bit !!

[67cheby]

Guys if i can get a few orders that could be delivered OCT 1st at the GOODGUYS LONESTAR NATIONALS, it would sure give me a good excuse to take the day off and meet a few new friends, so if anyone is considering a set and they will be in Texas on OCT 1st let me know i need to turn in the orders now to have them ready by then !

Wednesday I got to meet Mike, and I have to say he is one cool guy! We would probably still be talking about trucks if it werent for me needing to get home to my little boy who had come down with something. I did pick up my set of Slosh Tubz from him, and must say they are amazing in person, the pictures we have all seen do not do them justice. Its hard to believe they are fiberglass with the fit and finish and build quality that they have. Here are some pics of my set for you guys to check out, and I have a build thread started to show the install of the tubz. If your truck is running a dropmember ir is just super low and you had to pull your factory wheel tubs and trim your fenders, you have got to get you some of these! Cover your tread man!

[67cheby]

HOLY SMOKES...i cant believe you finally started a build thread !!!! and thank you, cant wait to see the install pics !

[jtp67-72]

Your paid-Can't wait........not at that stage yet but will be a good motivator!!........Notice I haven't posted on build lately.....Working on cab......a little clue.....the non-molesters are going to have to turn off their screen.....just say this slowly b-e-l-a-i-r.............lol jim

[67cheby]
