Dropping bed wood / wide inner fenders ?

I'm test fitting some black walnut bed wood and considering using the wide inner fenders , Anyone have some pictures using the wide fenders ? How did they fit ? Before I make the wheel cut outs I'd like to see some in use . What size tire are you running with them ?

That walnut will look really nice in there. Did you fabricate the wood slats yourself?

No , GR8-68 was making wood kits a while back and I was able to get a set of Black walnut and a set of Ash from him . It's nice stuff , I haven't decided what color to put in which truck yet , Ash with 503 green and the black walnut with the Safari yellow ? .

Either combo would look great I think.

I have a nice stack of hard maple in my garage that I'm thinking of cutting up for my 68 bed.

Didn't mean to hijack your thread.

I'd be interested in hearing about the wide wheel tubs also.
