How to shorten a frame.
I was wondering how hard it is to put a short bed on my long wheel base frame. How much do I need to cut out of the frame and where.

Re: How to shorten a frame.
If you search there should be several threads with pictures on this site.
I believe you need to take 16 inches out of the middle and 4 more off the back.

You can do the math yourself from this http://www.fordification.com/tech/bodybuilder70.htm or use other people's ballpark figures:
