I have to get started on narrowing a ford 9 to stuff in there, I am shooting for my overall width from outside to outside of tires to be 72 inch wide. I sure hope this will allow me to keep the tires off the tub sides, and just rest on top when aired out..

Going to be a sweet truck, keep it up.... great progress. When you get to the body work sanding painting, good respirators are very important.
