Re: Progress on 46

The truck is my 84 year old uncle's and he wants duals. I like it both ways. One piece correct form fenders would be nicer for the duals but I am not a fiberglass guy and the cost for custom work is very expensive around here. All steel 16 ga would have been heavy for 20 inches wide. From what I have seen of CSshades work, his results would be far better than mine. I have a lead on 4 running boards hangers and I still may put stock big truck ones on it. If the truck ever becomes mine -- maybe---- I would probably go sbc, use a sm420 I have and figure out the clutch and brake setup.

I think both the fender extender and fenders will be black. The seam will stay as I have fiberglass to steel. Anything I would do would crack at that seam. A pairr of real steel fenders would be nice.
