Like this idea but showing all the details with all measurements would have made it alot more interesting.

Great video, question...how did you do with driveshaft, fuel and brake lines? Thanks
@shedman73233 жыл бұрын
The fuel and brake lines were easy enough to shorten... the drive shaft I cut the yoke off of the rear by removing the weld. Shortened and welded it back together. A lathe is the best way to go on that job but it can be done by hand.

Same thing, cut and weld back together.

I noticed you separated the bed floor from front & sides instead of sectioning out 16". How is the floor attached?
@shedman73232 жыл бұрын
Spot welds. I figured that was easier than welding the across the entire bed floor. Thanks for watching!

How many inches would you take off the back? 4?
@shedman73232 жыл бұрын
I didn’t take any off of the back. I think it would be best to have an actual SWB bed before I would go to that much trouble.

Any chance you know if a long bed and short bed have the same amount of rear over hang? The finished pics look as though the proportions work out ok.
@shedman7323 Жыл бұрын
No, you have to cut the rear as well to fit a factory size bed. It’s about 6” difference as I recall. This is more an altered wheel base than true short bed.

Ruining a good old truck. What advantage is there to making it shorter. I have a short box I wouldn't mind seeing turned into a longbox.
@shedman73232 жыл бұрын
Smaller turning radius and in some folks opinion, better, more sporty looking. Its a pretty popular modification with the Chevy truck crowd! I just did it for the heck of it!
