Sweet! That is an awesome looking rig. Love the wide trac look on the waggy. Wonder how hard it would be to do that today? All I need now is a wag to perform surgery on. :D

Front would be a bolt on of course.
The rears are a different story of course.
Essentially, the wide track rear flares are added to an enlarged wheel well opening. If metalworking is not a challenge then the hardest part would be to find a suitable donor with good metal. Separate the outer wheelhouse from the inner at the pinch weld then cut an extra 2-3" of body beyond the flares and flange them into your waggy.
I've always wanted to see a widetrac wagoneer because I thought it would look good. Surely does!

Nice! Certainly don't have to worry about dinging your shins walking around the corners either ;)
