Re: 1967 Custom Sport Shop Truck

You forget how heavy some of this crap is until you have to drag it halfway across the yard, stand it up, lift it 2' up the back door step, somehow get it in the garage, then somehow get it on saw horses. Still not quite sure how I managed it.

Didn't take any pics, but I have an absolute garbage shortbed floor I saved to double check all my measurements. It's completely barrel rolled and all the braces are rusty as crap, I wouldn't even use it on a rusty shop truck.

Basically, they're exactly the same, except there is an extra brace "in the middle" of each section you need to cut out, 12" in the front, 8" in the back. When you remove the "middle" all the braces line up exactly like they should on a shorty.

I measured SOOOOO many times!
