Default Inner fender tubs for bed

I'm building a f350 crew cab with drop bed. And not really sure how to make inner fender tubs for the bed. Does anyone out there 3d print them? Or any other ideas and pics would be great

Drop bed??? Styrene is the first thing that comes to mind if you don't weld for tubs. When you say tubs, I think like a streed rod that is putting drag slicks on the rear so a narrowed rear end and the wide wheels go on, requiring wide inner fender wells. We on the same page? Got pics/sketches of what you are trying to accomplish?

Have you mounted the body to see what you really need? Otherwise its a crap shoot getting it right. You could get some 26 ga sheet metal, make them 1 piece and jb weld or solder the seams as another option.

Strictly cosmetic, no function? I though you needed to eat the tires like a 1:1.
