Hope that helps to clarify what I meant.

I understand and you are correct. I will study this. It will also shorten the bumper slightly although not as much as I need to shorten it. I think I need to shorten it overall by about 1-1/2" to make it flush with sides. Bought a hinged license plate holder off of an '80's Camaro for $2.00 at the U-Pull-It place. Turns out, they will sell me an entire bed with good sides I can cut the floor out of for $130.99 (plus tax). Spotted a straight LWB bed I may be able to use. Thanks for the input. Dug
