BuddhaG Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 1988 Comanche with a rusted bed. Seems to be cheaper to buy and replace the bed over having the rust repaired. Currently have the long 7ft bed is my truck able to take a 6ft bed with little to no if any modfication? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Short answer , you're better off getting the correct length bed . The bed and uniframe would need quite a bit of modification as the distance to the wheel openings are different lengths . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 yup. the long bed is 6" longer behind the rear tire and 6" longer in front of the rear tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Currently have the long 7ft bed is my truck able to take a 6ft bed with little to no if any modfication? No. The rear frames are totally different, as is the wheelbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
