Hello, is it possible to cut longbed down to shortbed? I plan on finding a s -10 frame and i've read tons of info on that, but havent found much on shortening the bed.
thanks brian

Yes, read some build posts and you'll see those that have done it.
Good luck and post some pics. Last edited by T Hilde; 04-18-2010 at 07:09 PM. |

Re: 53 3/4 longbed to short bed
not that hard to do. you'll notice that long beds have a stake pocket about a foot or so from the headgate. hack out ~9" between the stake pocket and the head gate and you'll have a short bed. VERY easy to do...
