Re: 1966 Longbed convert to shortbed?

Well ... I like them both.

However, I personally think the Long bed is proportioned better, and looks really nice with a lowered stance.

The job itself is not too hard to do ... but it does involve some work.

You have to shorten the frame and bed a total of 20" ... 12" in front and 8" off the back.

The frame was be CORRECTLY cut, squared up, and properly welded.

The same obviously goes for the bed.

I've thought about splitting the difference and building a 7' bed ...

Good Luck !
