    Cutting down a drop side

    Just cut down a non-dropside bed and it was amazingly fast and accurate with a sawzall and some Milwaukee "Torch" blades, cut an entire bed section out , 2 full cuts of the width of the bed, and only used 3 blades. Take your time, use angle iron as a guide and you will be surprised at the ease...
