Longhorn bed
Has anyone taken apart a longhorn box and made it into a reg. 8ft. box, just wondering if there is any fab work involved or does it un-bolt and remove the 8inch. section and bolt it back together ant info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks |

Re: Longhorn bed
Those Longhorn beds are hard to come by. I would sell the Longhorn bed 8'6" and purchase an 8 footer bed. You would probably have some extra money afterward.

Re: Longhorn bed
Not such an easy conversion to do. The front inner and outer edges of the 8' section are not folded over the same. WES

Re: Longhorn bed
while they are worth some money, odds are, you'll hold onto it for years before it moves.
