Could be. It's a 1 ton longhorn/camper special, the longhorn bed is wood, the regular long bed is metal. That still doesn't make sense though, that would mean metal beds have a different shape frame. It seems to me that I need to take the front bed plate off and cut three inches off both bedsides and weld the extensions on...but the bed is still sitting an inch or so too high in the back. And now I'm worried that I'm going to find more problems, I can't find anything for the longhorns so I hope not.
