Wheel tub orientation
Which way does the large round hole go, towards the front of the truck or the rear?

Re: Wheel tub orientation
I want to say that's not stock, but I'm no 67-72 expert.

Re: Wheel tub orientation
That's odd, both tubs have that hole. Is there a left and right or are the tubs universal?

Never seen that. I am pretty sure tubs are identical & can go on either side. Could someone have drilled them for some reason ? If so, what for ? |

Re: Wheel tub orientation
Not sure what they would be for. I bought these from a board member along with a pair of Woodall bedsides and floor so I don't know the history on them.

Re: Wheel tub orientation
Tubs are not side specific. Someone drilled those holes.

Re: Wheel tub orientation
Thanks for the confirmation guys. I removed by bed and got rid of it three years ago and I should have taken reference pics but I didn't.

Re: Wheel tub orientation
I thought maybe tie downs also. Not sure what else you would need holes for, except maybe a fifth wheel.

Re: Wheel tub orientation
I will probably just leave the holes, I don't want to drill any holes in the new bed floor.
