Re: Show me your tubs
Just waiting to pick mine up. I used a set from an early 60's chev p/u. Cut out about 6" from the center. I'm going to use the same type of carridge bolt to fasten it down.

Re: Show me your tubs
I made my tubs out of non-galvanized trailer fenders I bought on-line. I narrowed them to 2" and filled in the side. I looked closely at the discription to find some that were big enough. (I want to run 29" tires and the fenders will clear 31") They were like $25.

Re: Show me your tubs
Why not get a set of 58-59 fleetside fender tubs and narrow them to fit the tire width? They would come with the flanges for bolting to the bed and look factory.
