Modified rear wheel wells with raised bed floor

I raised my trucks bed floor after bagging my 71. Does anyone have any good pictures of how they cut and modified their rear wheel wells on a fleetside truck? Just looking at my setup, I only need about half the height of my current wheel wells. I just want to see what other people have done before I start cutting up good wheel wells.

Thanks

Check out Luifer's thread in the 73-87 build section. He did just what you are looking to do.

I'm just not 100% sure how to cut my tubs down. Do you have any pictures of how you cut your tubs before you painted them? How much shorter did you make them?

Sorry those are the only pics I have how short they are depends on the distance between the bed floor and the bed rail. I used 2 sets 4 wheel tubs to make 1 set 2 wheel tubs that were on that truck I also widened them about 4 inches for tire clearance.
