No inner fenders with factory A/C - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 85 c-10. The front is bagged and I’m about to start on the rear. I’d like to take out the inner fenders so I’ll have room to turn while being able to have the truck at 5” at ride hieght. I have factory air and getting rid of the A/C is not an option here in Mississippi. Is anyone running factory A/C and no inner fenders?

Can you have functioning a/c w/o the front inner wheel wells? Yes. But, no inners & actually driving your truck (despite the weather conditions) results in a messy, dirty engine compartment.
As clean as the efforts for the outside of your truck turned out (nice looking ride) I strongly recommend getting some aftermarket taller/wider tubs (or have something fabbed up) to keep things under the hood clean.

Thanks, yes I plan on doing a trailer fenders. Want to go with the Vintage air set up but I don’t want to shell out another $1500 right now.

Slosh Tubs makes a 'mild' version of their product that allows for factory air set-ups.
