Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
My first step was to measure and mark the box that houses the tarp. I was trying to be as conservative as possible when I decided on shortening it by 9 &1/4". I drilled out the rivets on the one end cap next. Then I went ahead and used my 3" cutoff wheel.
I took the shortened box out to the truck for a test fit. Although I could get it in place, it didn't allow enough room for the end bolts that will hold the inner tube. Another 3/4" off should be an ideal width.
