Trim the fenders to match the 1:1 and stretch it about 1/2 inch from your mock pic and it should be spot on

Yeah it's going to get the fenders trimmed like the 1:1 I dunno about streching the wb anymore tho she's sitting a 10 1/16" wb right now. Does anyone have the 1:1 wb for a chevy or jimmy sb? |

aren't they about 117 inches? (damn beat me to it) Don't be a wuss, stretch it. About 1/4" on either end would do it. Stock Clod the body came from is 10.5 |

And just so you know I hate long bed trucks for wheeling, my 1:1 rig is an 85 dodge sb and it walks all over the long beds I go wheeling with. | ||

I just wanted to see if I goad you into doing it  .Think about it though, comp rigs push 12.5 inches, 11 would be a short wheelbase considering that. At 10.5 on a standard 5 inch tall 2.2? thats really short. Besides you don't want to trim the cab side fenderwells, it wouldn't match the big one. |

The biggest problem I have is 1. I suck a body work. 2. The bed had been ripped away from the cab and had to have about 1/2 taken out of it to be re attached to the cab. 3. I don't have another clod body Yes it's a little tall for so such a short wb but the pictures make it look shorter than it is. I think i can cheat it w/o screwing with the body to much to get the wb I want. |

If it turns out close to the inspirational truck, it'll be awesome! Yoou are gonna need some crazy power to be true to the truck though. http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n...dBuildw54s.flv |
