DSE Mini-Tubs (040404DS) - 1962-1967 Chevy II
Make room for substantially more rear tire under your early Chevy II with Detroit Speed Mini-Tubs. Designed specifically for 1962-1967 Chevrolet Chevy II applications, part number 040404DS replaces the factory inner wheel housings with wider, vehicle-specific tubs that maintain a clean OE-style appearance. At 2-1/2 inches wider than stock, these Mini-Tubs provide clearance for tires up to 295mm wide on 1962-1965 models and up to 315mm wide on 1966-1967 models when properly configured.
Detroit Speed stamps these Mini-Tubs from durable 18-gauge steel for a precise fit that integrates cleanly with the factory body structure. Laser-cut frame rail closeouts are included to help streamline the conversion and reduce the fabrication time normally associated with a custom mini-tub project. A narrowed fuel tank is required and available separately. Manufactured in the USA, DSE 040404DS gives street, Pro Touring, and performance Chevy II builds the extra wheelhouse room needed for a much more serious rear tire package.
