Any with a bed that doesn't fit there truck?

That Beaver Cleaver will do anything..... | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,402 Former Workshop Owner | | Former Workshop Owner Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,402 | Just a thought, my Viking 40 was originally a shorter wheelbase version from the factory and was lengthened at some point to accommodate a 12 foot grain bed. You could always shorten the frame to accept a smaller bed. That is unless you prefer to have the longer wheelbase.
I have noticed that the shorter wheelbase big bolts are more desirable than the long ones, and therefore easier to sell.
It might be worth considering.
