This is exactly what I'm setting out to do, make a 8 ft a 6 ft bed! Was wondering if you can share the dimensions you used to make your blue tape marks and where you cut, and how much you cut out/off? Thanks!

[kiwazo86]

@mr954 I cut 12 inches off the front and 8 inches off the back from the outside edges of the blue tape. the front and back blue tape I put it 1 inch away from the flush mounts truck bed.

Hey bro nice job... How strong do you think the weld in the middle of the feame is?? I'm asking that because i got a 73 shortbed and the frame cracked and i'm thinking to get a piece of another frame from the junk yard and just weld it and put some extra supports.. What would be your opinion on that?? Any advice can help... Thanks
