Re: my 65 fleetside build
if you are going to cut down both sides of a long bed to make a short bed I would leave the wheel openings alone and just take 12 inches off the front and 8 inches off the rear, you would never notice the difference in the openings and you wouldn't have the weak spot in the center of the bed side, I would also remove the center stake pocket and no one would ever know the difference, hope this helps.
