Re: lwb to swb help
14" out of the middle, and about 5.75" off the rear iirc. It is best to have your short bed before cutting to double check everything. When I did mine I cut the rear out so the bed would lay flat and then measure and marked for the middle that way I knew exactly how much my truck needed.
