Where to find pre-made Fenders, Boxes, etc. For Welding Bed?

admin

Hello All, I'm looking at building a welding bed in the near future. I was wondering if there were any good sources for rolled steel dually fenders and pre-made low profile boxes all in raw metal that I could just weld on the bed? Any help is greatly appreciated!Last edited by Sixshooter; 01-12-2011 at 03:30 PM.

Reply:That's what I'm looking for CEP, just the little 3"-4" wide rolled fender that is pictured there. And top open lo-pro boxes.
Reply:I can't remember all the details, or any of them come to think about it! I got that picture off the AWS site, I'm sure he built the boxes from scratch. You can do a search on the AWS site for welding beds in the shop talk section. http://www.aws.org/cgi-bin/mwf/forum_show.plDon’t pay any attention to meI’m just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400

Reply:Depending on what you want to spend, a cheap way I have found is to head to the scrap-yard and by the "band" that goes around the spare tire on old vans... jeeps too, I think... although most jeeps are canvas.. That is what I have used for single tire fenders.. Pick the right one and they are stainless or chrome.. Check Craigslist for a 'pickup' tool box and modify...  Thats what I do, But, im cheap..The first step to having everything you want is to want everything you have.
Reply:only place i can think of is www.deltastorage.com for the boxes..  the fenders can be had at tractor supply, rural king, you can look online for trailer manufacturing companies..tackleexperts.comwww.necessityjigs.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/mach...dingequipment/
Reply:I've never seen fenders for dual wheels at TSC, so you'd have to cut and splice one of their singles.  Specter's link to Northern tools is a good one.  But they only sell stainless steel fenders for dual wheel setups, and the cost for polished stainless will break your heart.  The set of half moon fenders I liked on Northern Tools' website was $599.I've got a local manufacturing shop that'll roll form a set from 14 gauge for $90.  I'll fab some mounts or incorporate them into the bed I'm building.  I was thinking of having them coated with Rhino liner, along with certain other items on the truck.  I figure the urethane used in Rhino liner will take all the punishment of road debris and salt better than anything else...Benson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector
