Oh, and if your looking at my pics, the bed lines are high compared to the cab lines. And this is because I put 3/4" plywood for a temporary bed floor. The 3/4 is too thick raising the bed sides too high..

I will caution on the super wide tires for a DD truck build: Fat tires, decent power, & light weight over the rear end easily get squirrely when it gets wet.
You know, at first, I was thinking I would go wider in the future, like stage 2. So I went ahead and ordered those wider tubs. But now your making me wish I had not ordered them to put that quan towards things that go wrong like needing new wheels... OR. See my next thread...
