Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Sorry this is late but.... So to answer your question if I remember right it didn't! The forward lower edge was longer then the rear most section, so I lined it up from the body line down as I was tacking it together and then trimmed off the extra metal. I think I remember using a straight edge to line it up on one plane then snipped off the extra.
PS. If you lower it enough no one will ever see it if left long ![]() Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Just went through your entire thread and all I can say is impressive! Your fabrication skills and ingenuity are amazing!
Did you relocate the rear shock mounts for a more up-right position on your rear flip? Or were you not too concerned since you have the helper air-bag set-up.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Hey guys this truck is still for sale ( http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/c...ow-buck&cat=12 ) and can be had for what I feel is a giveaway price considering what has gone into this truck and its history. Also being my personal truck no corners were cut and nothing was over looked.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Still love this truck! I honestly thought it had changed hands already.
How many miles have you put on her since finished? Seemed like you were really driving it a lot for a while there! Just curious, it's way out of my price range.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I think about 17k since I started driving it but only about 7,000 miles since paint and motor swap.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I love the simple easy instruction on cutting down a long bed. I am a simple man anyway

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Awesome build man. Very informative and helpful. One question I have, is with a longbed, i recently bought PB fab trailing arm crossmember, if I just move it forward that foot that you cut out under the cab and install it there and lop off the frame behind that and install a chris alston backhalf, that will essentially leave me with the shortbed wheel base will it not?

Thank you again for the tutorial on cutting down the C10. It was invaluable in this process.
