Always wondered what kind of job it was to do this, now if I run across a clean long bed I won’t dismiss taking a look at it after watching this video. Thanks!
I got a #wrongbed and I love it!!!!!! Every time i got to Lowe’s, Home Depot, load the kayaks, or all 3 dogs - the functionality is unmatched!!!! Also, your truck is amazing man. Hell of a build and hell of a channel. You should be proud of yourself.
Awesome video! Don’t think I’m brave enough to try this on my own, especially since I’ll be shortening the bed itself in order to utilize the entire existing body.
Was removing the hangers a must.? It seems like it could have been done without that step. Just measured from another point. I've got the kit coming. I was just curious
Did you supply your own hardware to reattach the front spring perch? I only have enough hardware for one side or enough to hang everything they supplied in the kit. I don’t have enough hardware to hang the perches back on the frame. I can see in the video you have yours bolted on but you didn’t cover that part so I’m assuming you ran into the same issue. Thanks
I honestly can’t remember. I do keep a lot of hardware on hand. I bet you could call these guys and they’d send some out. Ask Clint and tell him I sent you.
@@GreaseMonkeyTV I did! Clint with their sales team got me squared away no questions asked. I told him what hardware I had received and what I believed to have been missing from the order. He said they created an internal work order and would have the missing hardware shipped out ASAP as well as follow up after delivery. Old school, A+ customer service. I appreciate the recommendation from you.

Nice
Im here to read the comments they sat about how unsafe it is... looks stronger to me
Dope. What are The torque specs for the two small plate you screwed there??
Excellent very detailed and informative! Would you have to shorten the driveshaft
Absolutely
Hi, you make it look so easy. Great tutorial. What blade are you using to make the chassis cuts? Thanks
Thanks! Just a 4 1/2” cutoff wheel. DeWalt brand I believe.
I have custom deluxe C20 85 models like cut down still Curious about long bed shorting I leaving greenville sc
Notice the old oklahoma tag lol, im also in oklahoma and about to shorten my frame on my c10 as well. Should be cake
Great video. Was there anything special you had to do with the fuel tank or filler hose?
Use short bed hoses. 2 rear mount bolts need holes drilled or left out.
Thanks for the info. Just picked up my c10 long bed, going to do the same thing.
Where to buy kit thanks
Save $400 and just measure/chalk it out yourself. It’s really not tough to draw two lines and cut.
Nice set up ? Are you going to cutting bed dawn like see you do that part
How many inches takes out drive shaft
Please show part you cut bed dawn how many inches cut out from bed
I bought a short bed.
Did you have to drill new holes for the gas tank brackets?
Nope!
Was removing the hangers a must.? It seems like it could have been done without that step. Just measured from another point. I've got the kit coming. I was just curious
I wondered the same thing. Best way to locate the cuts accurately for sure. Only adds 10-15 minutes to the job TBH.
Why would you waste so much money when you could measure this yourself?

@@GreaseMonkeyTV thanks man!
@Fahrenheit_Motorsports you get a response?

What about the driveshaft?
Take your measurements and driveshaft to a driveshaft shop. Covered in every full build on this channel.
Can I do this same method on 72 c10
Yes. There's a different kit available for that generation from PB Fab.
Any problem passing inspection
We don’t have inspections.
I wonder if this would work on a 4x4
Not sure why it wouldn’t.
Anybody seen a cut down shortbed hold up with out welding?..Wouldnt just a bracket and bolts be fine for a truck thats never towing or hauling much?
why talk about all the things that "you" did? wouldn't it be better to video you doing it?
