Re: lwb to swb
Check out Rokcrln's Low Buck Build. Starting on page 8, this is what gave me the guts to do it. It's not as hard as you think once you get into it. Read this thread a few times then just do it!! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=223158

Re: lwb to swb
so why is a 110/120vdc welder insufficient for the job? one of my friends converted his light half short step dodge into a heavy half long stepper using the back half of a heavy half frame to get the bed to fit and he used a 110/120vdc mig.

Re: lwb to swb
If you wanna do it right, leave it a long bed.
