I would think 66-67 would work as well.....

They won’t get my money.

I'd buy them so fast my welder would warm up in excitement. 😱

 

[doerf]

description says 2 1/2" wider, on a 1st gen the frame is narrower than that so not sure how that works
descriptions says attachment method is screws

buyer beware

"tape and/or paste may be needed to fill sizable gaps between frame rails and inner wheelhouse, instructions not included (please do not eat all the paste)"

Where does Detroit Speed get theirs from?

 

[CAPTAIN18B]

I feel the same as Chevyman, however, where is DSE getting theirs from or where does the steel come from that is used to make the DSE tubs? Unfortunately, alot of our money goes there anyway.

 

[doerf]

even if detroits tubs are the same, they include material and instructions to notch frame
without notching frame I don't see how 2 1/2" wider tubs will fit in

yet these don't mention notching frame
and I am pretty sure 295 will not fit without notching frame

Yeah, although no telling where the steel is from, they're stamped in the USA... So at least some of us are used for labor but not a lot of steel mills here any more...

If it's made of stamped steel, 99% is from China or Pakistan...

 

[Chevyman1979]

Hopefully it’s US steel but that’s hard to say considering what has been done to our steel manufacturers.

SAWZALL SYNDICATE Means to get 295s under there... gonna have to hack!... enough that there won't be room for the stock-width tank...

Yea, That's not really the case. I'm sure it's more them covering their rear. I would bet these are just as easy to install as any other brand. Which is to say not that easy for the newby but no more difficult than DSE. You would have to open up the tub to accept 355's before the stock tank becomes an issue.

Or maybe it's a scare-tactic into someone purchasing their "special narrowed tank" for the installation.... 355's are some meats!!

not necessarily true
maybe if you are moving leaf springs then the leafs may interfere with tank

there are so many factor dictating if tank needs to be narrowed
I went to 4 link and without leafs could get a pretty big tub in there before interfere with tank

with leafs definitely could not get 295 without moving leafs

 

[Pragmatist]

Yea, it would depend on the suspension used.....

355 wow thats big, hardly if any frame rails left behind.
