Bed cutting question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

harshard · 11-10-2009, 03:37 AM

Does anyone have a thread on how to cut a long bed down to a short? I am almost sure I have seen pictures or threads of this in the past but I did not save them for reference. I am planning on performing this task in the not so distant future but not sure on the exact measurements. If I remember right the bed is cut in two areas, one before and one after the wheel-well. Also wondering if there is any issue with the body lines lining up. Any help would be great. Thanks,Shawn
