18 5/8" from frame rail to widest part of tire. Have 1" clearance to fender edge. Total width 71 1/4". Tub is 2 7/8" deep and 9 1/4" tall. You can cut motorcycle fender to whatever you want tub dimension to be. Works great.

download the photobucket app
once the picture is downloaded go to the information button.

Hello! I have been a long time stalker of this site and finally have the funds to start my project. So, here it is:

1951 Chevy 5 Window

http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/...ps71f72620.jpg

Here's some progress pics:

At the media blasters:

All sorts of litte hidden treasures were found from the previous owners handy work once the primer and "layers" of bondo were blasted! I was hoping for a little better work, but I got a really good deal on everything so I can't complain too much!

Back in the paint booth waiting on primer:

I have more pictures that I will upload this weekend. We cut out the firewall and installed a new smoothed one. We removed the cab floor and installed a 1" square tubing frame and double wall insulated floor. All the major metal work on the cab is complete and I will have those pictures loaded later.

Here's the current status of the truck. I will start a build thread and go into more detail of what we've done and what the future plans are.

This is my 59 fleetside longbed. These pics are after I got the stance just about right. It has a long way to go, but it is my first car so I'm not complaining.

................ W O W, that is a real tribute to all the DELUX GMC's out there!!!
After talking to the first owner of my GMC he said he ordered his Delux with all the chrome for the front end and it was a $15.00 extra

thanks for the thumbs up guys,I've had her since 1980 was my daily driver in the 80's and early 90's ,went threw two paint jobs untill i desided to build it the way i always wanted it. then kids came along and was put on hold for 20 years started again in 2009 and this is it now. Did every thing myself all the metal fabrication to upholstry, only thing i didn't do was the finishing body work and paint.I have hundreds of build pictures just don't have the time to make a build thread,but i'll answer any questions about her, Here's a few more pictures
