Frame shortening kits that arent Brothers
I recently read here on the board about a kit someone used to shorten the frame on a long box. It wasn't the Brothers kit but was similar. Unfortunately I forgot to bookmark the thread ugh!
I'm not even sure it was the original poster, might have been someone adding to the thread. I did a couple of (futile haha) searches. Lemme know if you have an idea of what I'm talking about ... thanks!

That would be Long Shot Fabrication. https://www.longshotfab.com/products...bed-conversion I bought a kit but I haven't installed it yet. A lot better price than Brothers. .

Re: Frame shortening kits that arent Brothers
I shortened my frame without any kits and it turned out fine. I watched plenty of people do it on youtube and I gave it a shot. I would do it the same way if I ever shorten a frame again. A kit might be nice, but a tape measure, cut off wheel, and welder can get it done as well.

I shortened the frame for my '70 using this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=123624 It worked out great but I wanted to try the Long Shot Fabrication kit to see how it worked. That's why I ordered it..... .

Re: Frame shortening kits that arent Brothers
I'm curious to see if anyone prefers this kit to the Brothers one. I'm inclined to try it.
