Ax, like I said in my first post on this thread, learning experience and if I screw up, no big deal. Relax.

What are your plans for the RB's? It would look nice if you could flare them at the fender

That's exactly what I wanna do. Add a little flare piece. For the other fender I wanna take advice and cut it at the mounting flange as close to the bedside as possible. I need to get a shrinker so I can practice making a new piece for mounting .. Today I had the privelidge of installing a new hot water heater. The old one, the drain plug broke and water started shooting out like a fire hose. Ruined my entire day
But I did sell the red bed today for $300, and I found an almost perfect 56 bed for $275. Awesome deal

Sold the red 57 bed, and purchased an awesome condition 56 bed with tailgate and an awesome patina! Gonna widen the patina fenders and roll like this until I'm ready for paint. The pics don't do it justice, it's really straight.

Didn't get to them yet. Just got done with 4 link and coil overs. Plus we had our 2nd son. That slows things down a little
