Raising the rear wheel tubs.

I was feeling good on Friday and decided to raise the rear wheel tubs and back halve of floor, so that i can have as much room as possible in front of the rear seat.
This is how I did it.












I had to recut this to 5" from 3 1/4" to make more room for the curve on the bedside.

Re: Raising the rear wheel tubs.

Sometimes things just work out better that way.
Hopefully I will get the other side done by this Sunday.

Re: Raising the rear wheel tubs.

Well I got the passenger side done... well I still have some grinding to do and 2 areas to patch on the right side.


I had to make this support to strengthen the bottom of the bedside.

Re: Raising the rear wheel tubs.

I got the bedsides under primer. I think I'm going to spray them with Raptor next. My friend used it on his El Camino and it looks good and its not that expensive. I should have the frame painted by tomorrow and assembled by Friday. Can't wait.

Re: Raising the rear wheel tubs.

1st of all Thanks guys for the kind words.

2nd Here it is I need to get new shocks and I'm waiting on Slam Specialties for my other bag. (I'm trying to waranty it.) Then it will be complete. I got so exited to see it done I forgot to bolt on the air tanks( 2= 3gl. Aluminum) I will update with new pictures when I get the other stuff on.
