Yes the bed is larger in all dimensions than a stock longbed and yes I have tubs from 60-66 fleetside to go into it, they also will have to be reworked as they are about 10" wide and I need only about 5 1/2. Yes I plan to go back to the same guy when I'm ready for the front panel and the tailgate, the truck is a GMC and I have the correct tailgate that I plan to cut the flat panel with the GMC script out of and frame in the new tailgate, trying to make it look like General Motors would have had they made a 1 ton stepside. Bed strips and bed angle are not a problem as there is at least one aftermarket supplier that makes them with no holes for 9 foot 1 ton beds. That's what I've got for running boards and the bedside to running board panels.Should look correct when I'm done. Wish me luck! It's a lot of welding.
