I think you have to cut before and after the wheel wells. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE. You can buy complete NEW 6ft boxsides pretty cheap in the USA. I just ordered some up here in CanaDUH

Cost me $1400 with my discount

Good Luck.

you'd be alot better off getting a shortbox from what ive seen 97 out of 100 of these chopjobs to make shortbeds out of longbeds end up in the dumpsters

Bedsides run about $420 per side, cut the floor front and rear, and reuse the front panel if it's in good shape. That's what I am doing. EASY!
