Is that a standard short bed?

Or did you shorten one up to the Blazer wheel base, and if so could you post more pics.

INSIDIOUS '86 · 03-17-2013, 06:54 PM

Naw just photo trickery although I'm thinking of trying to shorten the truck by two inches by moving the bed forward and centering the wheel. Just for added benifits of shorter wheel base.

yeah, them slider window tops ARE heavy. try lifting one off a blaze with 35's with your wife-youtube material!

Ziegelsteinfaust · 03-17-2013, 11:54 PM

I am so wanting to cut down my wheel base, but I need to do a couple of other mods to make the whole idea work.

I am thinking cutting my lwb to a swb, but leaving the behind the wheel the same over hang. Or maybe shorten it more, but I think then it may get goofy fast.

You live in the Silver lake area?

The theme from Benny Hill's show is playing in my head. Yakkety Sax I think it was called.

maxxxy · 03-20-2013, 01:24 PM

Ahh you tricked me! That'd be sweet if it fit..

I might try extending one of those with fiberglass. hmm

looks cool I like it heck it would make a cool camper in the back

What if the top was balanced by adding to the front portion of the top centering the slider

might be easier that cutting bed side frame drive shaft etc..

INSIDIOUS '86 · 03-23-2013, 12:13 AM

Well I want my truck shorter for handling and performance purposes. It would all work out moving the axle and bed forward then using a normal shaft th350 and no driveshaft modifications necessary.
