well, in my case they will match my flatbed fenders but be open in the front.......i started to make a set but they ended up on a different project.
figure i need a engine cage at least so they will be strong enough to rub on trees. at least some sort of crossover...
but until i put the turbo on my diesel i dont want to waste the material....of course if i start working in pa again...they will be hastily built in a few hours and installed in a manner not suited to abuse...but enough to keep the law at bay.
they will be stand alone with the fender trimmed to sit on them. it will happen someday.
here is the bed to get an idea....the sides and wheel well is made from scrap well pipe. posted in a flatbed thread today so its handy.
