cutting down a stepside long bed
My 77 K10 short bed needs a new bed, and I have a pretty nice, stepside from a 1976 long bed truck, and my thought is to shorten it for my use. It looks like I'll need a couple of steps and I'd probably buy 2 new front stake pockets, everything else is solid. Is this all there is to it?
