If you change your mind, let me know, I am looking for a very good condition 8' bed. I have shortened these before and to me its not a big deal, but thats just me. I considered the axle move but that opens a whole can of worms in itself. I am serious, if the bed is very good condition, and you change your mind, please PM me. Thanks.

this 8' bed has a factory toolbox in lower passenger front side. Wouldn't that be where you'd need to cut it down to fit the 4x wrong bed frame? Did you have to trim the rear frame after cutting the bed down?

Yes I would need to make the toolbox smaller, and on my truck I did not need to
trim the frame. Do you have pics of the really good bed you are considering? thanks.
