Wood bed - wheel well dimensions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anybody know the dimensions for the wheel well cutout for a wood bed? I'd measure my own but I don't have anything to measure as my current bed situation is a piece of plywood that isn't attached to anything...

Thanks, but what are the dimensions for the 2 ? in the above picture. I used the gmcpauls info for all the other dimensions but the website doesn't say what the radius or offset for the cuts is around the wheel well.

Thanks

Anybody that has cut their own boards? I'll cut it at install if nobody has the dimensions. Was just hoping to be able to do it in my old mans wood shop.

Okay I cut my boards over the weekend... Finally!

I used 4 1/8" for the above ? dimension
I used a 4" hole saw for the Radius dimension.

Hope fully that will help somebody out in the future.

** also note that I'm using the factory inner wheel tubs.
