Hey everyone i was curious to see if anyone knew what the differences were between 1958-1962 fleetside rear wheel tubs if any. Mine are completely rotten through on my 58 fleetside and a buddy a few hours away has some off a 62 that he says are in decent shape..Thanks for the help..Josh

This didn't get any response in GTT so I'm moving it over here hoping someone can help this guy.

hey Josh - the difference in the beds is the side profile, but I think the inside shape of them is the same, I'd expect they'd be close enough to be easily workable - just measure the width and see if his are the same, the length will be

Both years of wheel tubs have deep embossments where the bed strips slip under the edge of the wheel tubs. The problem is that they are not in the same places. The 58 has two strips under the flange front and rear, and the 62 has only one. Not real difficult to rework, but something else to consider.
