Choices, if I go with an 87" stepside bed, it will have to be widened and slightly tubbed to get 2 " wider rear fenders to cover the 85" width of the duals.

Headboard and the tailgate can be fabbed, tailgate is the more problem. Not got an exact measurement but somewhere around 10" wider which makes the full running boards a problem also. Could go with the big truck running boards -- I have a pair of them.

If I go flatbed it is nearly square with width being about 88" and length from 92" - 96"--have about 10 or so inches overhang of the frame.

Any pics out there that could help either way?
