If you love unmolested longbeds, don't look!!!.......or - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

.....that's right,......Another longie goes shortie!!!!

Introducing (the before pic's) my cousin forum member Barcobear's stock clean rustfree' 1971' Cheyenne Super, a long bed that he has owned for about 12 years, actually he sold it once to a nephew and got it back 4 years later,

just to let you know this is "not" going to be a picture by picture build thread, the conversion is to be done my my cousin non-member Richie "slow as a snail" the G. who will be taking his time, so please do not hold your breath for "the after pic's" photos that will come, but may take a while,

Comments are always welcome.

C/10 King · 08-29-2012, 07:22 PM

And.....here's the straight new bed.

Kurt L · 08-29-2012, 08:01 PM

why don't you just sell the long bed and buy a short bed. seems like it would be a better solution then cutting up a perfectly good truck. i don't understand why people want to ruin a good truck if your not happy with buy something that would better suit you.

Looks good long gone to look great short ! Love thet color to.

**leddzepp** · 08-29-2012, 08:17 PM

Awesome! If you are gonna do it be smart about it and start with a truck in the best possible condition. Way to go Barcobear!

Wicked! It is a nice truck and it'll make a super nice shortbox! I get comments all the time from guys who don't like that I have chosen to modify my 70,000mile 2wd Blazer, my response to them is always " for 30 grand you can buy it and do what ever you want to it

" That usually shuts them up quick. Looking forward to an eventual finished pic. Hopefully he doesn't work as slow as I do.

Hey Kurt, I wanted comments, good, bad or otherwise, Mark likes his pick up, but in a couple of weeks I think he'll be in love with it!

I still value and wanted your opinion. Thanks.

Movie trivia..... Which famous actor said "cut me Mick, cut me" ?

Do you think he was talking about a long bed truck?

Keep the comments coming!

Nah, it always makes me nauseous to see a perfectly good long bed cut up to make a stubby. But to each their own.

Burgess Meredith of course! (aka, the Penguin), how about one that's not so easy???

**jocko** · 08-29-2012, 10:15 PM

Hey Rene - what are the plans for this (I may have missed em) - are you gonna keep all the front the same and just chop the frame and paint the "new" bed to match?

Sure looks like a super job on the shortening.

Actually, Rocky said it, the penguin did the cutting.

It's up to Barcobear, I think he'll end up painting the whole thing.

C/10 King · 08-29-2012, 10:26 PM

Wait a minute, "for the record" the new bed is not a cut down bed

the new bed is a factory bed that just happen to be blue.

**jocko** · 08-29-2012, 10:38 PM

Oh MAN!!! I can't believe I fell for that.... Is that a jedi mind trick? How did I miss that one... Ok, I guess I need an EASIER trivia question, not a more difficult one...

ole dollor · 08-29-2012, 10:44 PM
