I just want to say thanks to Vickraft for this tech tip. I made my own bedsides for my 41 3/4 ton following his tips and they turned out great! I have a couple questions though. I have since decided to convert it into a short bed. Where and how much should I cut off the 3/4 ton sides? From what I can find the extra length was in front of the axle. What confuses me is the WB on the half ton is 115" and the WB is 125 1/4" for the 3/4 ton. That's 10 1/4" difference. But the inside lengths of the two boxes is only 9". What am I missing here? Also, what is a good paint for the back side of the stake pockets? I haven't welded them on yet and figured I should protect it with something. Thanks again Vickraft.
Dan
