- Today we are going to show you how to install Slosh Tubz on a square body Chevy / GMC. We ordered a set of 73-87 Mild Tubz with A/C Along with filler panels and longer tub bolts for easier installation.
For reference the truck we are working on is a 78 factory A/C SBC. This truck has 2.5in CCP drop spindles and 3in drop springs.
The Front wheels are 20x8 +0 BS American Racing VN506 sitting on 245/40/R20 tires.
The rear are 20x9.5 +0 BS sitting on 275/35/R20 with an axle flip to lower it.
Installation Steps:
1) Remove Old Tubz and everything that connects them to the Chassis including battery tray, cruise control, overflow tanks ect. These are bolted in with 1/2in and 9/16in bolts. 2:30
2) Use provided template to trace the cut out line on the inner side of the fender. This will be what is cut out to allow room for the new taller tub. The template has a cut out that wedges up against the hood hinge to insure you are cutting in the proper area for the tub. 7:00
3)Test fit the Tubz and make sure the area cut out is correct and check to see if you will need to make any adjustments to the tub ( we ended up trimming a small amount near the control arm because it looked very close and ended up making it a little easier to install.) 11:11
4) Once you know that the tub fits you will drill two 1/8in pilot holes from the top through the pre existing bolt holes on the radiator support (two most forward bolts that run parallel with the grill) - note that the tubs front lip sits under the radiator support. 11:45
5) With the first two pilot holes drilled make sure the tub fits well and drill those to 1/2. and install the tub with those first two bolts. From there you will be able to see how the tub fits and you can mark the next bolt holes with tape marks and a sharpie. Once you have them marked drill one or two 1/8in pilot holes and make sure they line up with the clips on the fender. If they do continue this process with the rest of the holes. ( This part is time consuming but helps insure you don't put too many holes in your Tubz. Lucily with these being fiberglass and the lip of the tubz being in an area where you do not see the top it is easily fixable if you end up drilling a hole wrong.) 12:13
6) Now that all your holes are drilled it is time for final install. The easiest to install is by only getting each bolt started with a few turns to insure they will all be able to line up property. Once all in tighten them up and you should be good to go! 13:14
Feel free to comment below any questions about the installation or product and we will be happy to help!
The filler Panels we used were not the A/C specific ones but they are available from Slosh Tubz in many variations depending on your set up.

If you are wanting to Lay Frame or install larger wheels than 20s I would suggest going with Slosh Tubz Squared which offer more room but you will need to relocate your A/C: www.sloshtubz.net/store/1973-...

Love the trucks on this channel!
I have three GMC SIERRA 77-79-86 Long bed stepside thanks for the amazing video we need your knowledge you are smart
Badass square body’s are great trucks! Tay has owned a bunch and I had a blazer and logbed for a short time
Great demo. May need to invest in a set for old Dale!
Definitely a must have if you wanna go low!
Thanks for making the video it’s gonna help when I install mine next weekend
Awesome good luck! Are the going on a square body?
Floyd's Mayhem Garage yes sir. Going on my 87
If you needed to roll the fender lips, would you be able too with the tubz installed? I have about 1" clearance between the tire and fender lip on my truck.
Yeah you could roll them still or I think some people take a flap disc and shave the inside
I've always called them inner fenders lol
slosh tubz is a name brand, they're inner fenders for lowered trucks
Ah ok thanks for clearing that up
Hey..so what did u do with the coolant and washer fluid bottle?
We ended up making a overflow out of a Miller lite bottle, the old one had a crack in it and mounted it next to the radiator, I am pretty sure we used the washer reservoir but don't remember where we put it, ill try to dig up some pictures
@@floyds.mayhem.garage oh ya ok well thank u for the info..im going buy those inner fenders soon but just wounder what id be doing with the bottles as there wont be anymore room
Was the washer fluid jug able to go back in?
thats a good question! I think we forgot about it!🤣 unless taylor didn't want it to help clean up the engine bay
Ok just wondering so it will still look stock and work.
Nice video! How long did the swap take?
Took a few hours I think we started around noon and finished up around 7ish but that’s with filming, paint and some breaks
@@floyds.mayhem.garage thanks man! I appreciate it.
That looks more easy way to do this job thanks were you get the fenders and how much you paid. Thanks lol
www.sloshtubz.net/store/1973-87-Mild-Tubz-With-Factory-A-C-p79502135.
got them from slosh tubz. they run $759
Do they make these for 60s fords? neat build!
67 to 72 Fords yes. nothing for earlier ford as of now
Does the battery have to be relocated with this install?
We modified the tray to fit around the Tubz but Slosh Tubs does offer a custom battery tray for this application
@@floyds.mayhem.garage thanks I’ll be ordering the bracket, along with core support fillers, and fender fillers. I just got my mild tubz today! 🤗
What drop do you have, I'm looking at these for my 84 silverado that is a 4/6 drop running 22 inch wheels.....
Hey Brad! This was roughly a 5/7 drop with mild Tubz. For 22s you’ll want to get the regular Tubz the only thing with those is you won’t be able to have the factory A/c box you’ll have to run something under the dash like vintage air or one of those options. Here’s the link to the Tubz you’ll wanna run www.sloshtubz.net/store/1973-87-Slosh-Tubz-Squared-p46491677
Thanks for watching!🤙🏼
In this install we ran mild Tubz which work with wheels up to 20in and also let’s you keep the factory A/c box
@@floyds.mayhem.garage so with 22" wheels I would need to go with the "bigger" tubz
@@bradturner9030 yup!
@@floyds.mayhem.garage Awesome, the irony here...today the ac work was done, working great...
Using the factory box... yay me....
Will it fit on my Subaru?
🤣😂 with very minimal trimming to most of your Subaru, they probably still won't fit!
How much Wer those rims?
So whats the purpose of these? They look like they are the same size as the old?
These give you about 2-3 inches more clearance in all the common scrapping area when you moderately lower your truck. These are the mild Tubz which are meant to look factory but still give you more room for bigger wheels and a lower drop. They also make more extreme slosh Tubz that basically go all the way up the the seam of the fender. Those are necessary for the guys wanting to lay frame with 22in wheels
What drop is that?
This truck has an axle flip in the rear with a 2.5 drop spindle and 3in drop springs in the front
There nice but $900 wish they were made out of steel instead
It's c1500. But ya. Same thing. Lol
c15 is the gmc, but its not as popular of a name as c10. and the c1500 was first introduced in 1988
@@floyds.mayhem.garage my 71 gmc was a c1500.
Those tubs cost more than my wheels. Dang.
Yeah they aren’t cheap but it’s almost a must have if your going this low or lower with 20in + wheels. They are also surprisingly nice quality. Definitely the nicest fiberglass product I’ve delt with
@@floyds.mayhem.garage Just mind-boggling how expensive they are.
No
