I just picked up a 71 short bed 4x4 that has a flatbed on it. I'd like to find a short fleet bed for it within driving distance. I go to Reno often, so Cali's not out of the question. I don't really need a tail gate. I have a very nice long bed box, if that helps.
I've heard people talk about cutting down a long bed and putting new side skins on it. Any info on that would be appreciated.
Thanks, Al
