I imagine you could cut one down, but why? Just put a shortbed box on it and be done. LWB are longer in front and behind the rear wheels, so you'd be cutting down the bed 4 times to get it to fit. Find a short bed and bolt it on. Last edited by 70rs/ss; 01-06-2006 at 08:47 PM. |

Re: lil' help here please
The time involved would never be worth it. Never mind it would not look right. Just find a good short box of get repo sides and deal with them.

Re: lil' help here please
I'm gonna have to agree with the majority on this one....way too much work to make it look right.
