Shortening a bed
I'm sure this is on here some where but I'm cutting a long bed down to make a short bed on my 66 can anyone tell me how much comes out of the front and the rear. Thanks

Re: Shortening a bed
I believe you want to take 12" out of the front and 8" out of the rear.

Re: Shortening a bed
I thought I remember reading somewhere that the wheel well opening on the shortbeds is 2" shorter as well, but I don't know if that's in addition to the 12" and 8" cuts, or included in those.

Re: Shortening a bed
If you haven't, do a search in The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups section, there's several threads about shortening the bed, like this ... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ght=shortening

Re: Shortening a bed
Powerblock guys did this on a build. Should be able to find it online.
