Re: ok i want to know

I had one of the local custom shops do it- it cost me $500. I just removed the cab, box, and front end and towed it in. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=181633

Re: ok i want to know

I would almost consider paying someone $500 to do it. I am thinking about shortening my frame also but think I would attempt it myself just for the learning aspect and I plan on doing everything myself. $500 is cheaper than trying to find a nice SWB also.

Re: ok i want to know

do a search and you'll get more posts there. I even had one going for a short time. I eventually sold the truck I was going to do it to...
