Steel floor conversion question.

Hey Guys,
I am cutting down a LWB steel floor to fit a SWB does anyone know the exact dimension of the floor needs to be? I ordered new besides because my old are shot and don’t have them to reference, but I would like to keep moving.

Does anyone know the exact dimension to shorten the LWB steel floor to fit SWB?
Thanks,

Welcome to the board...
Is your LWB bed floor perfect...?

Tons of threads on this. I have done the same except also shortened the bedsides. 12" in front of the wheel wells and 8" come out behind the wheel wells.

Do you know of any threads i can take a look at? I have searched and found no exact measurements. I will just be doing the bed floor also. I have cut the bed 12" and 8" in the back and have the bed tacked. I just want to make sure before I weld it solid, my bedsides show up and I am short or long. I think I did a pretty good job cutting, but I know the cut is not perfect?

Thanks,
