I have seen one they did to a 2wd 85 with the front part of the bed bobed and it looked cool. I did not notice it until the owner pointed it out.

Got one in my driveway, took 9 inches out of the front of he bed to make it fit. Before that it was bobbed front and rear on the old bed, and IMO was ugly and useless. Ill get some pics tomorrow
