Re: anyone cut and sectioned lwb bedsides into swb bed sides?
thanks for the links, i cant beleive i missed the bed work in lfd's build when i skimed through it awhile ago looking at what he did to the frame.
The only problem i see having is that my wooden floor is rotten and dont think it would be a good idea to cut the box sides while on the truck. I will probally end up dismanteling the box and cutting them sepratly. |

The LFD build is awesome work. Wish I was half that talented with body work. LOL

It seems like half the shortbed trucks I see have the surgery scars in the frame from their previous life as a long bed. Frame mods seem to be common, but cutting the bed seems to be rare.
