I called them a few days ago about that kit also. It has not been released to the public yet. The sales guys said it is about 2-4 weeks out.

Re: Brother's shortbed conversion kit

Yeah I'll probably wait, I've seen different ways of cutting frame and welding but never seen where you just cut it and bolt a steel c channel in a bolt in, seems to easy. And if that bolt on kit works why not just go to a metal shop and buy a couple pieces of metal?
