I recently finished my shortened cargo bed and got it on my truck. Truck is M931A2. Bed is M923 variety from member smittyjr355 (a great guy). Thanks to all who posted their short bed installs. Just passing along how I did it if it helps.
It is 10ft inside length. I cut the bed to length, cut the "bumper" section out of the removed piece and reweldetd it to the bed. The ends of the bed sides were also removed and rewelded onto the shortened sides. After all the grinding and cutting I'm now sure this is the HARD way to shorten the bed, but something about not having a seam makes me happy.
Just the bed was repainted, truck was not. Rapco paint matches great.
And I have a nice, not even scratched CARC, fifth wheel and ramps available.
