1966 C10 Long Box to Short Box Conversion Help
We have disassembled our truck bed and would like to convert the bed sides from a long bed to a short bed.
I have been doing some reading and have seen it done a bunch of different ways. From what I gather we take 12" front the forward section and 8" from the rear. I saw a Delmo shop truck that looks like a straight cut saving the stake pockets. I saw a this video from PowerblockTV where they notch the top rail to save the pockets. http://www.powerblocktv.com/episode/...0#.VmAyWOMrInd I also saw a youtube video where the cuts were made at the extreme ends of the box to save the curvature along the length of the box side. ************ So, is there a best way and a corresponding best thread? We are mounting the truck body onto a '96 Caprice chassis, so I'm not too concerned about authenticity, factory mounts, etc, because it will all be custom mounted to a degree. Thanks for your help. |
