if I were starting from a clean sheet of paper and wanted to turn my 1973 longbed into a shortbed, could I use this kit? I understand it was engineered for the 67-72 frames.......but

[robnolimit]

Yes, you could. We do have our Fat-Bar rear suspension fitted up. What we don't have is a bed mount kit that is specific to the 73-87 short box, so some fab work may be required.

That's the answer I was hoping for. It may still be easier to cut/weld the stock frame but really I'm just trading one type of fab work for another. Also trying to use what I have on hand as a cost saver. I have a late model set (99-07) Hotchkis 4" lowering leaf springs I'm thinking I could mount close too or inline with the frame (to fit big tire) flip kit style. The raised rails would probably work well here.

[moregrip]

also, those raised rails would come in handy (thinking) with the tall diff pumkin the GM 14 bolt 10.5" FF rear axle has and the amount of suspension drop I'd like to have, as I'm staying 8lug.

Not sure how I missed this. And its what I was wanting to boot!

Dang it Rob.....I can see you taking a bunch (well that's a relative term) of my money in the months ahead!

I have a 65 GMC Suburban with coils front and leafs rear. I also have a 1988 C20 Suburban that I bought for the 454 drive train. I see a lot of information about frame swaps but it always stops at 87 not 88. My question is can I shorten the 88 frame and put it under my 65 and what would you recommend for spindles to get to 5 bolt disc front and rear. The 88 has the same coil front and leaf rear configuration but with discs already on th front but 8 bolt pattern. I've asked on several sites but they all want to talk about DMV problems (I have clear titleson both so no problem) rather than how to do it. Any help would be great.
Thanks

An '88 Suburban is the same "basically" as a '87. They continued on in that configuration until '91 I believe, as did the Blazer's.
years were '73-'87 for the trucks... but '73-'91 for the Subs and K5's IIRC.

Some more info. The rail kit is designed to be a full bolt on. The are over fifty - 50, grade-8 bolts in the package. It is the instalers choice to weld or not. The new rails are stronger than the OE when bolted. Welding will add to the strength and ridgidity of the chassis, just as welding up the OE chassis. Your choice. If you decide to weld, make sure the chassis is square and level when you do.

Awesome! Couple of questions.....67-72 SWB is somewhat shorter than 73-87 SWB......would I leave my 73 frame that amount longer? Would there be a difference in frame height at that difference? i.e. where the rear rail kit would bolt up? Other than bed mounts what else might I be up against? I understand there may not be solid answers but any info will help! Thanks!

As far as I know the frame rail hieght is the same, at 6" OD. I really don't know the difference in lengths, or rear axle CL. If you were to use our 4-bar, I would start by lining up the axle CL, then adjust the rail placement from there, possibly needing to add on to the rear bed mount.

here are some more picts showing the tank installed, the big brakes and the bed sitting on. The tank is 19 gal, and sits up into the cavity created by the raised floor. The bottom of the tank is just above the lower bed side.

oh man... how do i add the big brake kit to my tab?

['72customdeluxe]

Sorry if I missed it (did my best searching), but do you have more info on this sway bar? http://www.nolimitparts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SB-190 Any installed pics and mounting/size info? I like the over the frame rear bar, but have another companies panhard/shock re locator kit which i'm keeping for now at least. I have no mounting provisions for the axle side end links on the over frame bar currently. Thanks.

Upgrade - Motor Mount truss for standard Wide Ride IFS

As we are constantly searching to improve the Wide Ride line, The new Truss mount system will be available on all Wide-Ride-3 IFS kits. Series 3 IFS platforms fit 55-59 chevy trucks (also 48-72 "F" trucks). The new Truss mounts can be welded in before shipping, or loose for cutom applications. The Truss plate itself is a one-size-fits-all unit, alllowing for several different engines and setbacks, based on the modular bolt-on upper mounts. SBC, BBC, LSX, (and "F" motors) are all available. The Truss offers increased strength for hi-performance applications, as well as lighter weight than typical 'tower' mounts. The truss plates are ported for fuel and brake lines, and the rack and pinion ports are on both sides, for our RHD customers.
