I would make sure that the bed is level on or off the truck. that way you could plumb a line at the front of the bed& remove 12"off the front & 8" off the rear of the bed. I cut the frame of my truck down & purchased a short bed (with a ton of damage) sum what sure the numbers on the bed cut sizes. Idid cut & replace the drivers side front of my bed 32" with a vertical cut& seam just in front of the wheel well (Its not as bad you might think) & it turned out great! GO FOR IT! hope this helps. ...Pat
