Talking about shortening the bed, I know it can be done. I have seen a
'54 with a shortened bed in the parking lot at work, it looks kind of
neat, but it is something that I would not do. I could ask the owner
what he did to get the bed short like that. One issue that I noticed is
the running boards also need to be cut.

Can you fill the old mounting holes and drill new new ones in the bed to
relocate the fenders?
