I can't thank you enough for that.Wow!
That's just where I think I'm heading.

There are so many positives I take from that slide show,good to see that the cab fits over the rails nicely and that the tranny sits nice,with the shifter nice and neat.

The thing I had been wondering about,with going with the smaller truck fenders is the tire clearance.I like the looks of your truck and the fit of the tire to the fender.But,it may be a little tight for me.You see,my problem is I drive everything like I just stole it,and I would think nothing of making hard right turns at 50mph on a bumpy dirt road.That may be trouble for the fender?

That's why I may go big bolt fenders,but I think the 16" rims and tires may look puny under the big bolt fenders.I'm thinking of going with the 19.5 wheels(8lug,6.5 pattern) from a bread truck,and going with the painted vintage look.

P.s.,I wanted to thank TNtrucknut for the post above,the photos he emailed to me were also very,very helpful.
