Bobbed bed? pix please

[Tim.]

since the comanchiapet is going to need lots of sweet loving, i thought it would be fun to see one or many that are bobbed. i am going to work in different style of tail lights too.

 

if there is a FAQ or how to? on the bed bobbage, that would also be marvy..

 

thanx!

I am thinking on doing the same thing.

 

I wanted to just cut out 8-10" behind the rear wheel and put the back of the MJ on so it looks stock.

 

My goal is to eliminate the overhang of the bed after the leaf shackles.

I want to do the same thing on my parts truck if I ever get around to building it. If you do a search on here and in the the projects section, you should find plenty. I copied every pic I could find to my other computer for future reference. The bed on my 86 is pretty dented up, so I really don't feel too bad about cutting up a rust free box. I too will want to re attach the original end section for the tailights and tailgate.

If my truck doesnt sell.. that is what is gong to happen to it. I was curious as to what ppl have done to the frame? Also how did they address the rear shackle mount. I have an Idea on what to do, but would rather be a copy cat.

There are some examples in the projects forum. This will get you started - here and here.

Take plenty of pics and share them with us. I would eventually like to do this too and always like to get ideas from how others do things. :thumbsup:

just got ahold of a friend of mine who is eager to help... just gots to like up our days off for some sawzall fun!

I would use a 7" grinder with a cut off wheel, or a plasma cutter. The sawzall will distort the metal. If I do mine I will use the Cut off wheel.
