LWB to SWB Frame Questions Help

Im hoping someone can help me I’m getting ready to cut my long box frame on my 72 so I can make it a short box. I was hoping some one can tell me were and how much to cut on the frame to make this work?

Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Adam

Truckin did a very detailed segment online about this. I think I saved it as I'll be doing the same thing. I'll see if I can dig it up for you

There is a lot of different information in the FAQ forum. Scroll down to the bottom of this page and you will see the "Forum Jump" box. Click on the little down arrow on the right side of the box and scroll down to "FAQ Truck Tech". On that page go down to "Thread / Thread Starter: FAQ Index thread". When you get into that scroll through the different sections and you will find answers to questions you haven't even thought of yet....

I could have just posted a direct link but there is a lot of good info in the FAQ section and now the people that read this thread will know how to get to it. Thanks to Krue for indexing the FAQ's

I shortened a frame using the instructions in the FAQ and it worked out great. I think there are also threads on installing air bags and static drops.

You might want to check out the "Projects and builds" forum for some good info too.
