hahaha thats exactly what i was going to say

It's fairly simple to do. You're gonna need to cut the frame off behind the hangers. Mark out one side of the cut at a time. Draw your line then I like to put tape on the side you're keeping to make it easier to follow the line. After the first side is cut measure off of that and make your second line and repeat. To stick it back together tack it in a bunch of places to hold it then run real short tack beads (1 inch or so) in seperate areas to keep from warping the heck out the sheetmetal.
I used a cutoff wheel to cut the bedsides with then a sawzall to cut the floor. Be sure to post some pics when you do this :beer:

ill explain what i did. first i found the seem by the tailgate that runs in between the bedsides. use a cut-off wheel and cut that seem out, looks like it might have silcone on the seem (i had no idea what it was). cut that seem and after that if you look behind your tail light youll follow that same seem flow around your tail light bucket. i just basically cut an inch behind the whole tail light bucket. then ran that diagonal to the seem at the tailgate. youll see what im talking about if you look. cut the floor first then work on the sides. i fallowed a perfect line on mine, not sure if youll have the same. i had inner fenders that screwed to my bedsides, exactly not sure the proper name. anyways i fallowed that down to the flor cuts and back half was off. where it was cut sand it flat (eyeballing) and measure 14" or however you choose and dow the sides first this time. floor is alittle harder to get measured right. my way is hard to explain but i measured back from the tailgate cut up 14" that would be my new cut to mate the floor together. i can post lots of pics to show you what im talking about. check in the am

Not to Hijack this guys thread on purpose, but how muc luck have you guys had with just cuttin off everything that is below the bed floor off from the wheel well back? Seems to me like it would give you even better departure angle than bobbing without losing any utility area with the truck. It's what I've been seriously considering doin with my truck since its hard enough to get my dirtbike to fit in there as it is.

If you don't care about looks it works fine... but I think those jobs look like ass. uke: I've seen it done full length and bobbed, it looks less atrocious on a bobbed bed.

Well you got and good ideas ro would like to help.All I am wanting to IS TO DO IT RIGHT AND FOR IT NOT FOR IT TO LOOK LIKE ASS.
