I don't know if I'm going to get the back finished or not this weekend. Our truck club is doing a mountain cruise tomorrow that will take most of the day. I'll definitely get it cut off, not sure if I'll have time to get it welded back on.

I did receive the parts Larry cut off for me, thanks man!

I didn't know you had a blaster, I would have had you sandblast for more $!

Anyway, 1st pic is what GM did to 1968-1972 Longbed trucks. They put this stupid curve at the front of the bed. 1967 Longbeds did not have this, nor does any 67-72 shortbed, suburban, or 69-72 blazer. Odd. So if you ever see a shortbed with a curve at the front fender, dead giveaway it's a cut down bed... and if you see a middle stake pocket.

Stupid looking fender curve:
