Re: Long bed side measurement, part of ?

i think...

I need more info. if you cut the bed down and cut off the front stanchion (what your photo shows) all the way to the front of the rear stanchion, the bed will be too short to be a reg bed.

but I gotta figure what you are asking is, if I drill out the spot welds on BOTH stanchions and cut the bed down, intending to weld the front stanchion back on, how much do I cut off?

the answer to that question is 9 1/8". I just cut down some aprons from long to short and that was the difference between long and short.
