"ChubTubz!"

"Designed for the 67-87 C10s, they will also work for the 60-66 with a small amount of fiberglass work."



For the last 4 years I've been working on building a 1968 SWB that has a front and rear Porterbuilt extreme dropmember setup. Because of the large step notch in the rear, I had to raise my bed floor to clear it. This obviously created a problem with the rear wheel tubs being to tall to fit.

You can approach making the rear tubs many different ways, but I chose to try and make them look as stock as possible. So I built a set of steel ones that I shortened by 4" and widened by 1". I also made the tubs contour to the inner bed panel to fully achieve a factory fit and appearance.

Each tub required 2 factory tubs and about 15 hours worth of work to build. I know a lot of guys don't have the tools, skills, or the time to spend building these and paying someone to build a set of steel ones is cost prohibitive. So after I finished making my set of steel ones, I decided to talk to a local boat shop that does fiberglass mold building. Once I was convinced that we could make a good part that would be economically feasible, I had them pull a mold off of one my steel tubs. After I was sure of the fit and finish, I'm now ready to produce them for sale. They are designed for the 67-72 trucks, but with some small modifications, they will also work for the 73-87 trucks. Initial price will be $500/set + shipping. You can text me at 850-291-0499 or email me at robhartley@aol.com if you have any specific questions

Here are some photos of the original steel tubs that I made, and pictures of the fiberglass tubs. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks - Rob
