This sketch/photoshop is sort of my rendering for my project. In this photo I got the shorter nose and the longer bed look that I liked. In order to pull these proportions off on the real truck I will have to position the cab about where it is in post #62 and shorten the nose about 3-4". When I did the crude chops on the photos I sort of screwed with the swoosh thingy on the fender.

It's really going to come down to how aggressive I want to go after my dream and what am I willing to compromise on to manage risk and keep the build moving along.

If I leave the cab in this location - let's call it the most extreme forward I would want to go, then the bed only need about 6-8" taken out of it in front of the fender wells. For every inch I slide the cab back in order to make things easier, another inch comes off the bed length. To get the cab far enough back so that the wheels are in the center of the stock fender, that's about 6" back so that means 12-14" comes out of the bed.
