Silverado Wheel Well Add On Kit

I noticed that the Silverado has basicly no rear wheel wells. So I came up with a modification. The sides are make of Black ABS, high rigidity and impact strength, good abrasion resistance, moisture resistant, resistant to inorganic salts, alkalies and many acids not that we are running over acid. The sides attach to the bolts that hold the side fender struts on. There is 2 in the front and 3 in the back. The holes are punched to fit. At the bottom of each side piece you use a large multi purpose tie to hold the bottom to the lower strut.

Where does one get the kit. It's nicely done. The front wheel wells could use something similar as mud gets all over my engine compartment.

Shopman1 makes and sells these kits himself, send him a PM. I just bought one recently, but haven't had time to install it yet. I gotta get it on before the next storm though.

Re: Silverado Wheel Well Add On Kit

The Kit is a Rear Wheel Well Kit - it will keep all the junk off the underside of the bed. Its not for the front. Sorry, but the back works very well. See this URL: https://www.toolite.com/wwkit
thanks,
shopman1

Re: Silverado Wheel Well Add On Kit

I'm gonna do a bodylift this summer. Are there kits in an extended length for BL equipped trucks?
