Are those stock 303 inner fender wells, or did you "tub" them for some big sneakers?

My plan is to be Better Equipped with a 712m working platform. Hence more stuff like this in the field. I want my working retirement to be travel friendly.

As a whole, the truck wasn't near as bad as Gecko tours' rig. I hope to get it done before his.

Looking at the cabin rust I thought I was looking at my truck but then realized the rust was not as bad.

Good job.
