Get a short bed .. I believe you have to cut both front and rear section's to make it fit.

6.5 feet...about 78 inches.
Frenchblue72 is right...cut from the front and the back on a long bed. Y'all are joking about chopping a longhorn bed....right? |

It breaks my heart to even see people just chop the frame and put a swb bed on their trucks. Its such a shame to chop up a perfect truck
