61 shortbed conversion?
Thinking about doing this on a 61 c10. Brother's trucks has a video on YouTube if you get the conversion kit you do not need to remove the cab. But when I'm looking for the conversion kit they only sell for 1963 and up. Guessing this is for a reason. Does anyone know the frame differences or if the 63 kit would work on a 61. Thanks

The Coles Notes:
You're taking a section out of the rear frame rails, and taking a section out of the front X-arms.
