Utah metal fab? Need bed shortened
Anybody know of a reputable person in Utah who has successfully shortened a longbed and would be willing to do another? Any info. would be great. Thanks. It seems that this may be a much cheaper way to go than buying a shortbed straight up or buying an aftermarket shortbed kit.

Did you have a bad experience with this type of project?

Just a thought. Check with whoever is cutting this for a price first , then price straightening it out to paint , then figure the cost of bedsides less the re-sale of your good long bed. Shortening works good if you are doing it yourself , might quickly get to costly if you are paying somebody else.

Re: Utah metal fab? Need bed shortened
There's a guy in Lehi that does a lot of custom work. I can't remember his name, but his shop is on the road that goes past the roller mills-not the road that goes on out towards Redwood, but the other road. Like, turn North after you get past the freeway. There used to be a Wingers on the road that you can see from the freeway, but from Orem, you'd be past the exit when you can see the Wingers. It seems like the road I'm thinking of kind of turns west a little and his shop is right where it starts making the turn. I spent 2 years doing a remodel/addition to Lehi high school a few years ago and I used to stop in and talk to him from time to time. In fact, if you are driving south on 15, you can see his yard and there are always a lot of old cars waiting their turn parked there.
