Best wishes,

I see no examples in the Stovebolt.com gallery.
Can you post a link to a photo?

@ HRJ, Thanks, John, that's it. I've never seen one in a fleetside, though. What a cool mod for a pickup. It is looking more and more like I'll have to build what I want anyway. I think the easy way to go would probably be to start with a trailer fender that fits the biggest tire you might need.
Thanks for the input!

Was there a spare tire well on/in the Suburban, too?
| | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | tclederman, because the suburbans used the rear mount gas tank about the only place for a spare was in the truck. See post #110 on this thread for a photo of a '72 spare tire well

Always glad to help Roadmarks. I built some mini-tubs for my step side using a trailer fender from the local farm supply store and some stock angle strips from Mar-k to flange the trailer fender. Here's a photo, might be food for thought on your project.

If either of you folks see a '67 - '72 sub being scrapped, you know what I want!
