Then was off to bringing in the sides. I took 3.5" off each side. Plasma cutter the cross members and a skill saw and cut down the length of the bed and snapped the side off to get to the bed screws with a sawzall. After cleaning up the sides I temporarily attached them with wood screws and washers. The front corners fit with a little trimming. After getting the rear panel sectioned down I removed the swing down hitch. Thought that was pretty neat so I might reinstall in the future. The back was a little tricky getting back in and aligned but managed to get tacked back in. Somewhere along the way I didn't measure twice and cut once so now the bed will be an inch shorter at 107". All and all today was a good day and I am shot.
