Re: 1972 C20 long bed to short bed conversion question

I just cut mine and used a fish plate to reinforce it, no kit necessary. 12” out of the middle. I cut just forward of the under cab VIN stamping. Move the rear cab mount bracket back 12” and remove the forward bed mount bracket.
The back is easy, just cut 8” off the rear frame horns.
