Not a silly question at all, i will have to drill out the spot welds at the front of the bed, then useing a saber saw split the bottom of the bed at the same width of the roll bars, slide the bed on, then bolt the front panel back on and tack weld the center panal back in every couple inches and install the plastic wheel wells, rather than alum. wheel wells, then use a spray in bed liner, to cover up,all the surgery. I also installed a mustang power steering rack and pinion and dropped the cross member to accept a better pan. In fact the motor mounts are in also to install an LS1 and 4l60 trans if i want to go with a computerised engine and trans. What it will look like is pictured below but about 2" higher and with Rod Lite wheels, it want have a hinged bed cover it will instead have mounted bed cover cut across and hindged just behind the roll bars for access to the alum fuel tank and duel batteries. Sounds easy but also time comsumming. I did save 4 of the 6 mounting brackets on the chassis.
