Re: Long to short conversion

I am having a terrible time trying to get pictures on here. I am computer retarded. I could not get pictures of pulling the cab but when we where temporarily finished with the bed we proceeded to the frame. Here are pictures of us taking the exhaust off right after we removed the cab. My trck has trailing arms so the section where we wanted to remove from is directly under the cab. Once again remove 20 inches total, 12 in front of rear wheels and 8 from behind. In this case we also did a little research and found that for a stronger cut you need 24 inches. You do a twelve inch cut on the top half of frame and next to that cut twelve inches out of the bottom and when it comes together you have to weld sort of an S on the side. this cut is stronger than just one straight up and down.
