I tubbed mine. took a couple weekends. I plan on detailed pics as soon as I roll it out in a week or two.

I got two rear frame pieces from a donor luv and welded them in place closer together, added some support pieces made out of stock steel, then cut out the old ones. by leaving the old ones in till the end, everything was square. then you just have to buy some of the sheet metal wheel tubs and cut them in.

if you get the back spacing on the tire right you can stuff a 10-11" thick tire back there.

4link - Did you move your frame rails in? or Did you just add the tub?
