Ok I have 17"KMC V2's that i would like to tuck. They tuck in the front barely but wont tuck in the back so im thinkin about flaring the back out by just puttin suports on the inside that push the bed side out.. I have to bed resting on the wheels in these pics and the bed isnt all the way down thats why the body line isnt lines up. I would like your guys opinion on how it looks and what i could do different. Thank.

find a rear end outta a datsun 720. or 620, whatever they are called. basically same truck but with a jap style bed. they are about an inch narrower per side. pretty sure the driveshaft will bolt up too.

i wouldnt suggest flaring the bed sides. i have seen it done on an old square ranger and it looked terrible. just my 2 cents though. plus you could destroy the body work.

Its the datsun 620 rear end that is narrower.... IMO I wouldnt flare them out just takes away from the lines of the truck. The Intros I had were 17x7 w/ a 5.5 BS, they tucked w/ no problems,but if ur set on the chrome then I would have the rear end shortened whatever it would take to tuck them + 1/2" just to be sure
