the truck has its dents and dings but no rot at all glad i went to school for bodywork, even tho i hate it. I am thinking a snow white with blue pearl for paint. Has anyone ever put dually bed sides on a reg bed, i think they should go right on the bed, it would be way eaiser than tubing the rear.

I know this is a Dodge, but I thought I would show you some pics of a truck off of Cummins Forum that has done what you are thinking about doing with the DRW fenders...

Enough chit chat, here are the pics!

If you want more information on it, he goes by SCHOOLBUS over on CF.
