I am kind of waffling back and fourth on wheel wells. I plan on designing trap doors that slide forward on each side above the wheels so that the bed can be positioned at the classic height, then the truck can still be aired down and put the frame close to the ground and the tires protrude up above the bed floor. When the trap doors are open it would be nice to have wells to keep the dirt from flying around when driving. If I find a set that is around 31" in circumference then I may just buy them instead of fabricating a custom set. Definitely stainless steel so I don't have to worry about rust or chipped paint. Lining them with bed liner is an option but I think it may not be the right look for the truck.
