Re: How to cut 3600 bed to 3100
That's super helpful! So the distance from the rear bumper to the center line of hte wheel well is 41 7/16" on both of them. I just read a build where a guy thought about cutting 9" but went with 7" instead and was very happy with it. Better to cut less than too much!

Re: How to cut 3600 bed to 3100
Hope I was clear that that even though you are not doing a frame cut, the 9-1/4" measurement applies to the bed, also. ...9" off the front of the bed would probably work, but 7" would not be enough. Even so, after we had a 1/2 ton bed on a 1/2 ton length frame, we moved the rear axle back a little more then an inch to center the wheel in the fender opening. Many builders do this last bit.
