Cutting the frame down was actually pretty straightforward. The first cut was straight down from the back of the cab. The second cut was 12" to the rear. The third cut was 8" from the tail end of the frame. The splice behind the cab was reinforced with fishplates. The hole in the crossmember that the driveshaft passes through had to be enlarged due to the steeper angle of the driveshaft. The short bed bolted right on with no mods.
