i wonder if you could shorten that lwb 50th bed that HartRod has for sale and keep most of the original patina ??

jwalk · 11-27-2010, 03:43 PM

That bed is clean! I'd be trying something. If you could do your cuts as close to the front and back and keep it cool while your welding so the body work would be minimal.... I don't think it would look that bad. The floor would be the easiest part. I'd be trying It.....

I don't have the skills to shorten a bed or I might give it a try. If I was to come across a clean 50th short bed that would be the find of the decade. As of right now I have everything for the bed except a floor. I plan on using the wood cross sills as a start and building a raised floor off of them.

As for progress... I'm in the process of tearing apart the front suspension and getting everything powder coated/painted and back togeather. Going to try and knock out the low cost stuff over the winter as cash is a little short at the moment. Once I get the front all painted I think I'll try and get the brake lines fabbed up. Traded for a CPP master/booster combo over the weekend.

JesseH13 · 11-30-2010, 03:00 AM

it looks so clean!! at least ya know your trucks got a brother on the west coast!

m6z · 12-04-2010, 10:53 PM

Got the front suspension tore apart and bolted on the booster. Now I've got to hunt down or buy a press so I can take the cross shafts out of the control arms for powder coat. I've also got a small spot that I need to get repaired b4 I can paint the frame rails.

o6r1man · 12-04-2010, 11:06 PM

o6r1man · 12-04-2010, 11:07 PM

I'm going to order the conversion axles from Moser. They run about $250. A little cheaper then Early classice. I tried to get Alloy USA to make me some, but they just refered me to Moser. I could of swor that the axles I bought used for the last truck were Alloy, but I guess they weren't.

Raguemoe · 12-06-2010, 02:33 PM

Very nice (wish I had started with something this nice)!
