Frame is back to its original length

So yesterday I finally got my frame shortened and welded all up back to its original length. I also got my hands on a 55 f100 bed the other day, I think its an aftermarket bed but it looks good and fits right... time to start boxing it all in now...I would put up pics but I dont know how to do it from the iPhone.

That's good. You'll be so much better off with it at original length. Why are you boxing it? Jet engine? Or are you just boxing the front for a Mustang II, etc.? Or are you boxing the welded area to strengthen it?

I wanna box from mid cab back I think.. I wanna do it for strength where the welds are, and I want a cleaner look at the end of the day... and so far I am planning on a 460 to make it shake...
