Only stupid question is the one not asked, unless you count the one asked when it's too late!

Stupid question

you are doing exactly what i would like to do to my '65- the old 'turn it into a shortbed' trick! could you PLEASE let me know your cutting measurements- ie where on the frame, etc-or post pics? my concern was pretty much bed mounts and such, but what are you doing about the driveshaft? and btw, getting rid of the e-brake extension cables would be a blessing for me! any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
