Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Removing bytes from the beginning of each frame?

Hello,
 
I've been working on finding a method to remove RadioTap headers from an 802.11 capture. I've found that I can change the file encapsulation in editcap from ieee-802-11-radio to regular ieee-802-11, however because the packet bytes for the radiotap header still exists this results in mostly garbage data.
 
I know that the radiotap header is going to be the first 20 bytes of every frame in the given capture I am working with. Editcap appears to only have a method for chopping data off of the packet at the end, and not at the beginning. Does anyone know of or have a tool that will allow me to remove the first 20 bytes from every frame in a capture?
 
Regards,
