Have you thought of actually channeling the interior bucket? Cut the amount you need off of the door panels and then set it in the cab. HTH.. RICK

Yeah I thought of trying that to the bad thing is I have alot of issues with concentration and the center console is molded as part of the interior. The thought of trying to section that out has been the main reason I haven't. The body getting broke after months of filling sanding and so on kinda put a damper on it. I plan on using rectangular tubing under the tub and then square tubing out the back of the tub. Also want to do some kind of twisted axle frame section. Once I get that image in my head of the frame section it will be back on...lol. But thinking about it just now might just use the door panels and dash (section the door panels) and make a custom console and floor.

Probably going to use trimmed down front wheels and then the wide rears. I have a set of large scale duallies but I think they are to tall to get the slammed look I want

well where the heck is the pics, sounds interesting to me. I like to use prescription pill bottles for tubs. Not sure If I care enough to tub the front out, plus I might not be able to fully slam it. But I plan on closing the bed off with tubs and maybe a frame cover, unless I come up with something wicked for the frame notching over the axle. There's a post of mine that I posted in the in-progress other section by accident that I just tubbed the wheels and left the frame uncovered. I wish I had better concentration cause I'd love to cut the tops of the dually flares off and raise them up to be able to put bigger wheels on. I seen a couple of real trucks (chevy fullsize stepside and a chevy dually) use that technique and it looks pretty cool, something different which is my style.
