Re: A different approach to a LWB to SWB conversion

As I said 95% will not like my welded frame. Stay tuned for the rest of the process. I think 95% will like my bed shortening technique since I eliminate over 20' of weld.

I already like the way you did the front of the box, that is genius. I wish I had seen it before trying to cut and weld mine.... would have saved me a lot of grinding and bondo

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding
