    Rear wheelhouses for 1991 suburban square body

    That's the one problem I didn't havve. With the old tub flange trimmed away, The width of the new inner/outer pieces bolted together fit well from the inner lip (floorpan) to the inside of the quarter panel.

    If I find time, I'll dig out my arm rests and put'em on and see if they fit. Remember It's only metal after all. shape,weld,grind until It does what you want. I only went this route because it was the only viable option I could find. How bad is your rust? Need some pics already lol
