Are you talking about shortening a fleetside bed too? If so that's a tough one. It's a lot easier, and depending on your skills a lot cheaper to find a short box, and just shorten the frame.

I already have a couple of good shortboxes, but yeah i'm going to cut the longbed for fun, because it will be useless after i chop the frame.
