longhorn bed to 8 foot bed

Can you use the bedsides off a longhorn and make a 8 foot bed out of them without much trouble? Thanks for any help

Re: longhorn bed to 8 foot bed

You may already know, but the length is added to the front. Seems to be an extra 6 inches. You would have to check and see if the stake pocket holes lined up and so forth. Good luck!

Randy,
I can't answer your question, but I would be interested in adding the 6 inches from each side to my bed. let me know if you decide to sell those pieces, please.
thanks

Re: longhorn bed to 8 foot bed

I don't think you have the angle on front of bed when extension is removed. Pretty sure it's just cut off square with a flange on it. Pic would be better I guess.
