All right, boys and girls. I have not only been thinking about tubbing my 67 stepside but that project is underway. If I start a build thread there's a few things you should be aware of. The largest tire I can get into my rear fenders is a 285/60-17. It has just 3/4 inch of clearance on the bedside and about 1/2 in on the inner fender lip. To get the most out of the space you get, you should narrow the differential housing about 2 in on each side and I will do that as well as narrow the fleetside rear tubs. With that said, if you want me to start this thread, reply here. This is the only view the local boy racers ever see of my truck:
