There was very little wood left in the bed it was so rotted. The bed sits on cross sills on the frame and not on the wood itself, so it does not matter about the fenders. We put the wood in last after finishing the paint.

I see. I disassembled mine over the weekend and I'm deciding what order I want to paint and reassemble everything. My bed sides did bolt to the original wood but I think the boards could be tucked in later like you did. Your truck looks great by the way!

Well your right, there is a metal lip on the sides but the wood fits/slides under that lip. Thanks I appreciate it.
