Fleetside wheel tubs

Who builds reproductions of the wheel tubs for our trucks?

I found 67 and up, nothing for ours.

Bought mine from Top Banana. Believe they're all made by the same company, but TB had the best price.

Re: Fleetside wheel tubs

Wow, I had no idea they were the same part on each side?

Well ordered them. I will be sectioning them into my old ones to increase the width by 4 inches.

This combined with the C-Notch spring flip and pan hard bar should transform my truck quite a bit.

Kind of excited, been wanting to do this for 20 years.

Re: Fleetside wheel tubs

Sounds like a great project. Before the reproductions were available, I used a couple of damaged tubs I found at a salvage yard and used mine that were damaged on the opposite sides to stretch them 6 inches.
