Styleside wheel housing

Post by 69f-100 »

Has anyone replaced wheel housings in a styleside bed before. I see they make them, just wasn't sure how big of a deal it is to replace them. :hmm:

Gotta do this myself so looking forward to responses. I've been searching but can't find where somebody replaced their bed floor by drilling out all the spotwelds. Could have sworn they removed the wheel wells too the same way.

They are available, so I have to imagine someone has done it before.

Found it! Our old buddy Tyler. He didn't remove the whole wheel well but he did separate from the floor. I would figure the other edges of the wheel well are attached the same way. Page 21 of his project, about half way down the page http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... &start=300 (Great work Tyler!)
