Short bed dually

Hey fellas!. I'm pretty new to DTR but it looks like there are some very knowledgeable people on here! im currently working on a 1985 dodge crew cab w350 that im wanting to convert to a dually. Has anybody on here ever done a short bed dually? Really wanting to know how to fit the fenders onto the short bed.

First, put the picture in the editor of your choice and resize it so it doesn't display wider than most folks display settings and make it necessary to scroll the page left and right just to read it. I use 640 x 480 pixels.

Then, when you wish to place an image in a post, put the cursor where you want the image, and click the insert image icon at the top of the editor. Tell it where your edited image is and it will upload it from your computer and insert it into the post.

I did everything to a T. Once I go to insert the image it never shows up on the message board.

There's several steps to the insert process. You select an image and see it, then you still have to click the insert button to put it into the message.

When done right, the image should show up in the editor just as it will in the post.

Actually I've got the drive train in since then. I'll post a pic on how it currently sits.
