Can someone measure the inside width of the wheeltub on a fleetside for me? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just want to know the width of a fleetside bed stock. Like the dimension from the inner tub to the inner lip of the outer fender. I was wondering if there is any truth to the fleetsides have a more room than the stepside claim.

FirstGen, they should be the same between the tubs. I can tget a measurement on my 68 after work for you if somebody doesn't beat me to it before then.

I wonder what it would look like to tub a step side using fleet wheel tubs? I'm sure someone has done this, anyone have a pic?

Thanks Scoti!

It looks good & is actually pretty easy. Extremely cheap way to stuff rubber under these trucks IMO (well.... much cheaper than tubbing a fleetside truck).

just under 13" from inside edge of wheel tub to inside edge of bedside along arch. The inside of the bedside angles inward above the wheel arch and I didn't have a flashlight to look up in wheelwell to read tape. Hope it helps.

thanks for the reply. I think I will just use fleetside tubs. Scoti, do you have a set you want to sell me?

Thanks,

First Gen, I've got a set. I'll email you some pics in the morning. Bad luck though, I just met up with a guy from Dallas (on Saturday) and swapped 12 bolts (car) that could've brought them back to you....
