My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Process of Change 68
I had Mark McIver at McIver Custom Fab shorten my bed. Mark has done a hundred of these beds and has it down to a science. I also had him fill the stake pockets and side marker lights. He is going to do the rockers this week now that the cab is back from blasting.

What does Mark charge to do that, if I may ask? Nice to see those long beds being out to use.

Re: Process of Change 68
Bed is $800. Frame $500. $1,700-$1,900 depending on exhaust if you want to drive in with a long bed and drive out with a shortbox. Mark does a super nice job. I'm totally stoked with how my bed turned out. If I wouldnt have been able to score my short box frame I would have had him shorten my long box. I am also going to have him do my fire wall. Mark is a member of the forum. His name is Macsic66

I wish you lived here in Idaho I would just give you that cab. I have had it on craigslist and cant even give it away. I might just end up taking it to the scrapper.
