i'm in the process of building a big window, short fleetside from the best pieces of my '66 long fleetside and a '64 gmc short fleetside.
stripped both down to frame and using the best parts ( that fit ) during re-assembly. the frame is por'd, the later model 12bolt rear w/leafs is in, the later model front suspension w/discs is in. the re-assembled bed is on, the big window cab is on. the 350/350 is in.
but i realize i don't like the look of the wheels in the rear fenders. there's maybe two inches clear in front of the tire, and maybe eight inches behind. not very symetrical.
but the wheels are centered in the wheel wells so i'm guessing that's how they're supposed to look.
i'm thinking of taking out a section of the outter fender and moving it foward on the body to center the wheels in the fender opennings.
has anyone done this? any thoughts or advice? from other posts it looks like i'll need some 19 gauge sheet metal to patch the rear of the section, let me know if you can think of anything i may be over-looking.
thanks
