Maybe 2" out of my long bed wheel well will make it the same as a short bed.

Re: Wheel Openings Are Different!
I'm working on a 66 Chev panel. I'm using pickup wheel opening repair panels. When I held them up to my truck they were about 2'' too long . I ended up taking out 2'' out of the center, they seem to fit good now . Hope this helps.
