They started with a long bed and made a shortbed out of it. http://www.powerblocktv.com/site3/index.php/watch-full-episodes/ep?ep_show=TKI can't remember the exact episode that they did the shortening but if you could find it, it would answer most all of your questions | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 28 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 28 | Don't do it! long beds are really fine! | | |
