Re: thinking bout cuttin down the lwb to swb..

Cutting the frame is time consuming and frustrating for most. I cut my frame down but came across a swb frame for 100.00 and ended up doing an entire frame swap. You will need to redo your brakes and fuel lines. Your ebrake cables should also be different on the swb(if you want them). D/s will be different as well as mentioned by everyone. If you cannot weld, do not attempt to shorten your frame! And hat's off to anyone that does it with the cab on! I tried it and it is waaaaaayyyyy easier to jack up the cab off of the frame. By all means it is not an easy task and if I were a rookie I would be very very careful undergoing this kind of surgery! Let me know if I can be any assistance...later!
