Shorten Frame/Shorten Long Bed to Short Bed
Ok,
I have read on the forum about a number of guys that have shorten their LWB frames to SWB frames. A couple of guys have put some bits and pieces of information on where to make cuts on both the bed and the frame. Is there a kit or detailed info packet that is out there to tells you exactly where to make the cuts and at what locations? I would eventually like to take on this task, but I would like to feel more comfortable with the information before I get too far into it. I have even saw some suppliers sell weld in frame strengtherns for where you make the cut, but I feel more comfortable with directions that I can reference. Any help would be appreciated. Adam |
