Hi all,
I have a model kit of a short bed 1984 GMC (chevy) truck. I am looking to convert it to a stanard bed.
So, where exactly does the missing length go?? As in, how much in front of the wheel, and how much behind??
Thanks.

what Are you wanting to do exactly?
Well, the kit is a short box, 6 feet. I want to convert it to a long box , 8 feet. How much of the 2 missing feet goes in front of the wheel well, and how much behind it??

You'd probably be better off just going out to a parking lot and measuring them. A few pictures would be good, too. You could also look up the wheelbase of a short bed and a long bed and compare the difference with the difference in bed length.
Is the short box 6'0" or 6'6"?
I think it is 18 inches between the rear whell opening and the front of the bed
