Rear Fenderwell Rebuild.

The rear fenderwells were in really rough shape from many years of water & rust damage. These are welded to the truck and needed to be cut off.

Fabricating new rear inner fenderwells. They will be fabricated out of 3/16" steel plate. These are much stronger than the originals and will never rust out again. They weigh in at around 200 lbs. each.

The new fenderwells needed to be notched out to clear the rear leaf spring hangers.

The fenderwells will be left long on the outside for right now until the side steps & rear bumper are ready to be attached to the truck so everything can be cut evenly to insure everything will fit together correctly.

Cutting the new fenderwells to length to match up with the new side steps. The extra pieces will be used on the inside of the fenderwells to hold the rubber fender extensions in place.

wow man i love originality and in my opinion this is one of the most original on this entire site. i never even thought about an armored truck, and i try hard to think outside the box. do you mind my asking what the cost of the truck was? and how long did it take you to find it?
