rusty rear wheel tubs
Trying to fix some of the rust in my old Bucket. Hope to finish up the front floor pans tonight. Only rust in the back is around the lips of the wheel tubs where they bolt to the floor. Is just the bottom section available or is an entire wheel tub the only option?
I know y'all like pics so here's some of what I'm fixing because the PO just covered it up instead of cutting out

Only the entire wheel tub, just be glad it's not the rear floor like mine

Re: rusty rear wheel tubs
Same old story, fix it so it works, not necessarily so it's right, back in the day.
Remember these were just 'trucks' to some of the original owners and got treated just that way. Put a post for one in the parts section as a WTB and I'll answer ya there. |

Re: rusty rear wheel tubs
Just got into reading my brothers catalog.They sell a repair flange for wheelhouses,but it seems to stop at '66. They may work for you... J.
