Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

Kenny, I'm digging the 101 sides!

I gotta tell you Kenny, having the bed sides even with the rear dual width will look so much more "professional" than wheel flares after the fact. Or is it wider than the duals? Its hard to tell from that one pic. Def a great project!

The bed is wider for sure. The inner fender has been removed. I'm not sure if I will use them or cut the lip off a deuce fender. Much fab work to do before the effect of the bed will be visible. I'd like to keep the sides as narrow as possible but still enough to just cover the tires.

Dunno if it would help or not, I think I have fenders from a M353. I doubt I'll use them. Yours if ya want.

Because of the way the factory sides were made, the bed floor is wider than the tail board of the wrecker bed. I will slice that extra material off so that I can flush up the bedside. You also get an idea how much bedside will be lopped off. The top rail will be modified to decend at a 45 degree angle after the bed pocket behind the wheel well. Still need to move the bedside back 3/4" to center the axle in the wheel well. Gimp, appreciate the offer on fenders. Let me try my options with stuff on hand first.

But the fenders are in my garage! You really need them!
