[dwmcdaniel13]

gotta love chevrolet, i need to do this to my 68 c10... it would look so much better

[hnr2208]

Hey bro nice job... How strong do you think the weld in the middle of the feame is?? I'm asking that because i got a 73 shortbed and the frame cracked and i'm thinking to get a piece of another frame from the junk yard and just weld it and put some extra supports.. What would be your opinion on that?? Any advice can help... Thanks

[tru3irving]

@hnr2208 you can add a plate around a foot long by the width of the frame and bolt it in the inside , use 8 grade bolts, i seen that get done on a 79 check out my videos and ull see it

Nice job on your truck... I have a 66' Chevy and I also wanted to shorten my truck's bed as well. Can you please explain your measurements to your cut off where your blue tape are located? I was wondering if by any chance you speak spanish becuase I do have another question regarding the differential? GRACIAS

[kiwazo86]

@FMarentes1 I cut 12 inches off the front and 8 inches off the back, measuring from the outside edges of the blue tape.

Great job and beautiful work. I have a 65 shortbed, just scored a short bed fleet so I can ditch the step after all these years of looking.

[kiwazo86]

@hulk625 Great bro and  Thanks for wacthing!

[mr954]

This is exactly what I'm setting out to do, make a 8 ft a 6 ft bed! Was wondering if you can share the dimensions you used to make your blue tape marks and where you cut, and how much you cut out/off? Thanks!

[kiwazo86]

@mr954 I cut 12 inches off the front and 8 inches off the back from the outside edges of the blue tape. the front and back blue tape I put it 1 inch away from the flush mounts truck bed.
