Ok. Flipped the 79 bed over. Built a little rolling cart and started drilling 40 spotwelds out. Cut 4 welds and we have a seperated bed ready to be shortened.

Sorry for my absence.. Been dealing with a health issue..
One could shorten the back the same way, Yes..
Here's a bit of input i need.. I asked in the 70 series forum as well..
Was hoping to start the actual bed "Mounting" this weekend if i feel up to it. but need to fine tune the location.

Well. Tires were on procomp rims a local club member wanted the rims and i wanted stockers. Had a set of hubcap rims blasted and powdercoated black, 2fpower came and grabbed the rims and tires and they are about to be redelivered. Im not in a hurry and just glad they graced his garage this winter and not mine. Some progress. Otherwise have been learning how to sew on a 1942-43 singer walking foot machine.
