Thanks for posting. Glad I'm not the only one who uses Amazon boxes as supports. lol.

Great video! Will definitely reference your video for my 64’ gmc!

[@yamahaxs6501]

Just when I convinced myself that I was just gonna cut down my beat up metal bed floor when I do the shortbed conversion, you do this! Now I'm not so sure I can't just do this myself and stain the boards super dark.

[@shortcutgarage]

You can totally do this

[@Driven_Dragon]

Great video. Thanks

[@arnulfob3454]

Awesome ! Thanks for the great info.

[@shortcutgarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

You make me feel like I could do this.

[@shortcutgarage]

You can, one of the easiest things I’ve done to my truck. For real.

Nice work!

GMC Paul site shows the boards at 7-716" wide but a 1x8 is actually 7-1/4. does it still work out?

[@shortcutgarage]

Sure did for me

[@sfcstephensmith]

I know this is an older post but I need to know if the outside boards are cut on both sides, too or just goes under the angle on the sides… thank you very much.

[@shortcutgarage]

Just goes under the angle, will need to be trimmed up but only need to use the router on one side

[@sfcstephensmith]

Thank you

[@alexglez1972]

Hi!!, Do you know if it is the same size for a 70´s c10 stepside?? mine is 75

[@TieDown18]

I’m in Edmonton, do you sell the bed wood kits? I have a ‘65 long box.

[@shortcutgarage]

Sorry man, I don’t sell them. Had I known I could have Routered some for you today, I did three trucks. Just got my garage cleaned up of all the sawdust 20 minutes ago lol. Not doing another one for awhile I’m sure. Sorry bud

[@shortcutgarage]

But hey, if you want to borrow my router table and bits leave me $100 deposit, hit Home Depot on 17st, they have more of this wood.

[@rickjackson3414]

I’m going to do this…..what are the 2 router bits #’s needed to do the job

[@shortcutgarage]

1/4” and 9/16”

[@HarryMallin]

Do you have a video where you installed these in the truck bed?

[@shortcutgarage]

Yep, on a fleet side

[@HarryMallin]

[@donshields4470]

Nice job! At the first of the video it looks like the overall finished width of the groove is 9/16... but then at the end it looks like the 1/4 bit cuts the overall width to 5/8. Is the total finished width 5/8?
