Thanks it's now at the body shop. Body working the bed and repainting it so she looks stock
looking at your bed, i think im going to be similar, except im going to make the wheel wells wider to cover the notch. so the middle stays flat.
Go with the pics old man. If you ever did a OBS stepside project I'd cry tears of joy... you know... just a suggestion!
Giovanna Drumano 5's 22x9. Wrapped the trim black and painted the mirrors black also. We see keeping it for a while, been a great car and its a 13' with 45,000miles so its fairly low mileage
If so, you could raise the bed floor a couple of inches to clear the diff and then do wider tubs for the notches. Then you still have a deep enough bed to use but keep the center between the tubs flat.

Big downside to a raised bed floor is the bed becomes useless. A few guys i know have raised floors, the depth is so shallow, things just get sucked outta the bed on the highway. There's no 100%solution that fits form and function. My plan was raised bed floor until i heard the horror stories, hence why i went this route
looks wise its the best option for sure. But i need to put wheels and Tarz in my junk so the notch was a great way. Should ahve truck back next week from body shop!
Got it all done. Exactly how i envisioned it. now who wants to buy it?!?
Back tracking a little but ive always thought it would be cool to make a compartment in a raised bed, leave the stock floor after the notch, put new raised floor in say 6-8" higher than old but leave the back open so you could drop the gate and keep stuff in it like chairs for car shows or stupid stuff like that.
yah thats been done before. Just comes down to how much $$$ you wanna spend lol. In fab work, paint and body work I have about 8500$ into this S10 for that alone
