I can't seem to find any pics.. I have seen them dovetailed, but can't seem to find any bobbed pics...

I'm interested in bobbing my '75 long bed... It would be nice to get an idea of what it would look like.
Thanks,

Gotzs Ford is in that year range and he bobbed his, so to speak. Just to give you an idea :laughing:

This was in the middle of bobbing the bed, and stretching/raising the opening

My god... That first truck is so sick. Love your's too Lucky. Both trucks make me motivated to hack off more than I originally planned. :eek::smokin:

Lucky_Thirteen, How much did you take out above the wheelwell and the rear? I have been messing around with photoshop and just couldn't get the right proportion. But you nailed it! Thanks

This was in Petersen's 4-wheel mag a while back.

rarely do I set aside mags because of certain trucks, but that one is just about perfect. Dig everything about it!

i bobbed 16'' out of a 79 longbox

and it was pushing it. i think the max you could chop without reworking the wheel arches is about 17.5''

if i remember ill take a picture, it not quite a shortbox its more of a medium box:)

I think I bobbed it 8 inches, stretched the opening 7 and raised it two

Hey Lucky Thirteen do you have any finished pics of that? I really like how you stretched the opening, nice clean look over cutting it. I'd like to see it finished.

i cut out 9" off the back of my 89 short bed. Id recommend it to anyone else, it looks factory if youve never seen a ford before. :laughing: Post pics when your done. :grinpimp:
