Depending on the 4x4 they are 3" wide wheras I think all 2x4's are 2.5" wide.

That might be worth while. the only problem with that is the time it takes to grind/cut/drill out the rivets.

I think the fill doors are an option on most bedsides. Contact the maker and ask if they can add the duals. I bet they can.

That would be great if they could, I don't want to go as far as changing my tanks yet, but maybe a stock car fuel cell in the future

Found my set of fenders and bed sides, McNeil racing ( perrys fab&fiber), 6"front fenders for 300 and 4"bedsides for 600. Does any one know any thing about this company I have no idea, are the bed sides worth that?
