Looking for the inner fender for the bed. I think these are on the 8 ft beds or 250/350 beds. Looking In the catalogues I can’t find anything offered. Are they a bolt on like the outer fender?
I want to do a mini tub on my 56 and I think these would be the perfect size.
Thanks for any help
The part you're asking for does not exist. The wheel hump in the F250/350 bedsides is part of the stamping of the bedside. It is not a separate piece. It was necessary because the beds are wider on the heavier trucks than the F100, and the hump is there for wheel clearance. You'd have to cut them from the bedsides if you insist on using them. They're only a couple of inches wide and would be a lot of work for little gain as a mini tub.

I agree on a lot of work, I was hoping they were bolt in for that reason. I did find some in Mid 50’s book but they are weld in.
What if you used another set of rear fenders and bolted them on the inside. The left fender would go on the right inside and a right side fender would go on the left inside.
A buddy of mine gave me a pair of F250(LWB) bedsides with the tubs stamped in them. They are about 2.5 inches deep, just enough space for my purposes. I cut them out leaving about a 1 inch flange. I cut out my SWB bed side to match the tubs and used structural/panel adhesive to affix. Since I double-walled my bed the flanges were easy to hide. Here are some pics...

Thats what I want. Nice clean look and just enough room for a little more tire.
Looks good. What width rim do you have?

Those sold through Mid Fifty have a flange on them. I don't see why they couldn't be bolted on or attached with 3M Panel Bond adhesive. If you bolt them, maybe use some fender welt to finish the bolted seam.
I wouldn't weld those in place. Even with TIG or MIG welding, that is such a long seam, the single wall bedside might warp.
I forget the tire size but I know it was the largest tire I could buy from Nitto in the 555 series...I think that it is a 300+ 45.
Here is the bed with the bodywork finished in white base...
