Those were a custom feature, you'll have to work directly with New Vintage to get that set up. It was about $200 extra.

Appreciate any info.
If you place the cab on the frame EXACTLY in the same spot as I put mine, you can shorten the bed 2.375". If you put it somewhere different, this measurement will be different. And, technically mine's a 1 ton (with a 3/4 ton box) on an extended cab frame...I didn't want to cut down my mint condition 9 foot bed.

Thanks Ray
I sandblasted it at my dad's shop in Spencer. As you can see from the pics most of my cab was stripped by hand, just did the floor and the hard to reach areas. But, I did manage to put some ripples in the back wall of the cab that I'm not happy about...so now I get to learn how to do some shrinking. I talked to a media blaster in Alta, but they couldn't guarantee that would get rid of the surface rust which is what I wanted, so I gambled with the sand.
