Super happy with the quality of the bedsides from lmc. I've heard the horror stories but I'm glad I was a lucky one

Did you buy the rear wheel wells from lmc as well? The attachment points where they bolt to the bedsides is a common problem with the aftermarket bedsides. I know a few people who have ended up "Grafting" the mounting flange, if you will, from the old bedsides onto the new bedsides, in order to mount the wheel wells correctly.hope your's aren't the case.
looks awesome so far! Which wheels are going with?
Have a good one!

I didn't buy the wheel tubs yet. I'm debating on 4 stock tubs and cutting and welding them to clear the 18" wide tires or to put some custom aftermarket tubs in it. As for the wheels I'm going American racing forged vf485. As of now. Thanks for the compliments. Been a lot of work and a lot left but goal is to be done for sema in November of next year.

Honestly I think it was custom made. That was a truck at sema in Vegas back in November. I took the picture so I could make my own similar one. I have a shear. Brake and bead roller at my work. I will post pics of mine when I get to that point.

Once you make one, keep the plans and make a few extra to help others out on our boards. That is really nice looking.

Thanks for the pics,

Bill

Hey, you might want to keep this member in mind when you go to do your wheel wells....he's making some modded ones in fiberglass, looks mostly like they are for "Body Drops" but might save you some fab work with those "Meat Hooks" you're gonna run in the back!
Have a good one!
