Looks great! What do you plan on doing with your bed? Rear tubs?

Thanks man. I'm probably gonna raise the factory steel bed floor and widen the factory wheel tubs. I'll also have the center section hinged to open up like a tonneau cover

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

The current ones are 1" wider than stock. I'll have some that are 4" wider than stock in a couple of weeks that will accommodate 15" wide wheels.

I think it looks awesome.

When I was ordering my toolbox from Matco, I ordered a 6 series triple bay in Pale Horse White. Not the regular color for a toolbox and a lot of people said it would get dirty and look bad quick. But it looks amazing and no easier to get dusty than any other color. Not like a truck frame rolling down the road but my guess is it will not be as bad as people think.

Thanks man and I agree, why not go unique and make it truly one of a kind? The white is going to be super slick.

Awesome. The shot from the back really gives you a good perspective as to how wide those wheels really are.
