Thanks for the comments. I'm not a fan of the tubs either but I am a fan of a low slung truck...so something had to give. I considered a raised bed floor, which I really don't care for either, but I wanted to retain the beads on the interior bed panels since they seemed to give off a factory appearance. I wanted to make the floor boards one-piece from front to back but my limited experience on steaming and bending wood quickly caused me to dismiss that notion. Thankfully there were some good Youtube videos to help me along on figuring out some of the issues.
Like the others I'm amazed at the details you have in this build. I don't care much for wheel tubs either, to me they say 80's Pro Street, was never really a fan of that look. Your floor is unique, I have seen a build where this was completed in steel but it doesn't hold a candle to what you have fabbed in wood. I really don't like a lot of the builds with an Air Bag system, most look like miss matched parts slapped on a cut up frame. Looking at your Air Ride system and the stance your truck has it's easy to see the craftsmanship and care going into this build. I would love to see it up close, at the rate your going that should be possible soon.
