Re: Long bed to Short bed conversion.

How long did it take to cut and reweld everything? I have a bare chassis and want to do the same as you or order the brothers kit but haven't seen any reviews. How much would you charge to have this done. I'm in oc

The best tip is the little screwdriver that LFD shows in post 201

I priced out using aftermarket bedsides, but I think it was like $1400 to get them to my house. No install or paint work.

Just remember that everything needs to be shortened, exhaust, driveshaft, brakelines, wire harness, etc

It took me and my father (visiting from NY) 2 full days to disassemble, cut, and reassemble the truck.

Here are some pics:
