longbed to shortbed conversion
I have searched the forum and haven't found any good links.
I am sure there has been some guys that have attempted shortending the chassis of a LB truck to shortbed. Can anyone give me the dimensions of a shortbed chassis? Any links and pictures would be great! I have some ideas for this project and thought this would be the right place to get started. I also have a 68 camaro that is currently under contruction. Thanks, Andrew |

Re: longbed to shortbed conversion
There is a thread in the FAQ section that was very well done. Also Brad had a shop do his and has a lot of info on it as well. The big question is do you plan to cut the bed to fit, or get a bed to fit. That seems to be the toughest part.
