Those would be original. I got them from a buddy in the 80s for free. I don't know what they are worth now, but they are hard to find.

Re: mylow53 build

Greg,
great truck and project I am following for a long time. I have one question: did you have to remove the support to fit your rear tires under the fender?

Re: mylow53 build

Hey Greg, do you have any pictures of when you installed the wheel tubs? I see them after they were installed but I was looking for build shots. We are fixing to order some.


Thanks Bernie

Re: mylow53 build

Thanks Greg, Did you guy weld them in from the back? Its hard to tell. I was looking at the ones from Dan Carpenter and was thinking about drilling holes in the flange and plug welding them in from the back side.

Re: mylow53 build

yes plug welded. unlike young rodder mine extend thru the bed. also i removed the angle bracket that runs the length of the bed. Instead i put some smaller brackets under the bed. i think young rodders method would be stronger if your hauling but i like how mine go thru the wood

Re: mylow53 build

Greg-

Mine also ran through the bed and they were welded inside and out. I like you aproach on the L brackes underneith. It looks very clean. I also went back and forth on how to handle the transtion from the L bracket to the tub. I like what I ended up setteling on but it was trial and error.

Marc, It looks like yours sits on top of the wood? You did a great job blending the wood to the inner fender. I also like the way Greg did his but I am not sure I want to get that involved...lol.
