You will need a pick up rear end to use wide fenders and then get your 4 feet between the wheel wells. I've always liked the look of the standard narrow box with the wheel tubs widened towards the frame. Can't get a sheet of plywood int there though.
Thanks for the tip. I noticed the wheels were barely past the cab when I last took measurements. Older duallies are puny compared to their modern counterparts.
