bed lengths?????

I am lining up parts for the resto on my Crew and can't find a short bedside. Is the distance behind the wheel the same on long and short?

Thanks!

I think they are. Repair panels I have seen in catalogs don't specify between long and short beds for the back half of the bed.

wheel well back are the same, wheel well forward is the difference... if you're gonna get a different bed, keep in mind that 2wd and 4wd have a different frame width- 4x4 is narrower- so you may need to make brackets to adapt between styles, i did and it was no biggie...

That's what I wanted to hear! It was a bedside or several patch panels. Much easier to deal with one large piece.

Thanks!
