Re: Help!!!
No Idea what your doing?
Try to get it back together like it is supposed to be and go from there. If you look around in the forum you can find some threads about making a short bed. If you donīt know what you are doing and donīt have the right tools, leave it like it is.

Re: Help!!!
Take a look up there in the Projects and Build threads section for a thread titled Project low buck by Rokrln. I think that's how he spells it. Excellent thread with lots of pics as he went on shortening both the frame and bed. And there are others.
