Not sure if it is... But the tail lights remind me of firebird tail lights

Wood on the outer bedsides. It might look overwhelming on some stepsides but since the fenders are so large it's not so in your face. Kind of interesting. The tail lights are a nice touch.

This is the way to install a roll pan and Caddy tail lights. My 65 with a 73 bed and fenders. I filled that ugly gap.

Here is what I've been working on the last few weeks: Mar-k tailgate with hidden latches and arms, twin frenched 59 caddy tail lights, rounded bed corners and kustom bumper.

Are those fenders wider than stock and if so how did you deal with the steps.

They are the wide fiberglass ones, I know most people don't care for them but I think they fit my truck well plus they alowed me to run a 22X12 and still lay frame. Years ago when I got them they came with a step (also fiberglass) but the step was just a smoothed regular size step so I pie cut it to fit then glassed in the hole. To mount the step I fiberglassed in bolts to it then drilled holes in the support from the bed. I also made new support rods from the frame since it was more flimsey than steel.
