I am planning on buying some lumber to replace bed wood. Will be milling myself to save bucks. Was looking at specs and dimensions on GMC pauls site. He says length of 97" for long fleetside. Seems like I would have to waste a lot of lumber for that extra inch if I cannot go with 8 footers.

Can I get away with 96" which is 8' in lieu of 97".

Thanks,

jeff
