Howdy All --- just wondering if anyone here has installed fender welting on their Big Bolt. Seems like it would need to be extra deep to work so I thought I would ask and see how it came out.

Thanks in advance.

Just installed welting on my 1.5 ton GMC. 1946. Had to buy 12' from Steele just do from the running board to where the inner fire wall sheet metal starts. About 2 feet on each side as original. Looks great but pricy. Fenders are the same as smaller trucks except the opening for the 20" tires so welting is the same. Let me know if you want a part number.

Thanks Mick! Would love to see how it looks as well as find out where you got it (Steele?). I'm just guessing, but is it black?

Sorry for the delay. Steele part number 70-1097-44. Not sure how to send you pictures at this point. I look to see if I can do this with a private message.
