It had a lot more than that removed. As mentioned it was a long bed. The rear axle is pushed forward, and the rear of the bed was bobbed. So its technically bobbed and sectioned. Looks cool though.

Oops! I guess you're right Stuka, quite a bit more than 6-8 inches. And I didn't notice the altered wheelbase either 'til you mentioned it. I've seen this done to a thousand drag cars, but I can't ever remember seeing it done to a truck before, it does look kinda cool.

That's me!
Chopped 14" of frame before the rear axle, and 14" behind the rear axle. Custom leaf hangers using Jeep YJ springs with an XJ main leaf wrapped around the front eye. The spring rate on them is awesome, but they wrapped so much without a traction bar my driveshaft yokes would bind. They just feel dainty, but get the job done for the time being. 113" wheelbase, but the front is being pushed forward a couple inches right now.
I have been pretty flaky on the build thread thing, but Facebook has proven to be the least time consuming and helps give content to my page.
