Wow, I do see what I've started!!! This is why I asked before I cut!

I suppose I shouldn't cut the running boards or side aprons either then huh guys?

I do need to read the forum rules before I do anything with this bed, but what I want to end up with is a bed that's around 7' 2" long or so. I think that means I need to get a long bed and trim it slightly...short bed is too short.

Thanks for the words of wisdom so far, and keep them coming.
