I did mine with full sheet metal inner fender walls. It looks so much better that way.

for starters good progress and its good to be worried about getting it right and yeh get yer wheels first , it makes more sense, and less re-dos
Oh and 20 with 45 series , dont bother, I am runnin 20" with 35s and thats waay too much rubber, and my inner fenders are as high as yours.
you will have a waaay easier time with 18s too.
I would not go 20 inch again.
lol
I would have finished the truck a year ago if I went 18", lol
I would do a back half , with the experience I have now, less rust to deal with hahaha
And measure measure measure,, and read the Max Fish article on instant center its a sticky on ssm.
good luck bro!!

My friend who works in a steal fab shop is picking all of this up today to sand blast for me. I wont be using the mazda tension rods. I have ordered some 2.5 weld on end links/tabs and will pick up some some solid tubing to make some custom ones.

Well today i am going on a 2.5" hour drive to pick up some 17" wheels for the truck. I am not going to say what they are but i will say they have black powder coating and chrome lips. I dont think anyone on the forums has this style of wheel but i know some of you guys will hate them forsure! Pictures will be up tonight!

17s will be good
different is good too
I like black wheels as long as they are not cheap steelies
Oh and cover up the spindle before blasting!

I havent had a chance to wash or polish the wheels just a quick rinse. The suspension is out and my jack wouldnt let me get it to as low as it will be when laid out but you get the idea
