Ive been planning the same idea with my jeep.
Ive been planning the same idea with my jeep.
Just what are you going to gain from decreasing the storage space in this jeep?
a pickup bed worth of space and lots of rust removed
I was asking BDR.
I'm going for an FJ45 look. After I shorten the cab I'm going to make a narrow bed for it using Chevy LUV bedsides. The bed will be just wide enough for a plastic storage box, then a cooler rack behind it.
And don't ever call it a jeep again...
BDR
Picked up the LUV bedsides last night. I'll have to shorten them on either side of the wheelwell and probably take 2-3 inches off the bottom.
BDR
Why not use the cruiser bedsides to make bedsides out of? Would be sure to match.
There's not going to be enough FJ40 bedside left, and I like the look the lwb 45's had with the overhanging rail with hooks.
BDR
No, I'll have to figure something out on that later. I think the LUV tailgate had "chevrolet" stamped in it also.
BDR
cut that out and put a piece of blank steel in. LMC might have a blank tail gate
I couldn't picture it until you posted that. They actually remind me of a 45. Pretty slick idea. I assume it's not original.
