Longbed To Shortbed Conversion

I can shorten your truck, ive shortened numerous 1964-1972 chevy trucks as well as a few 50's & 60's stepside pick ups. I charge $5000 to shorten the bed and the frame of the truck. Once its done you can never tell it was ever a long bed. If you have a short bed "bed" you can save a few bucks. I shorten the frame of the truck in such a way where all of the structural integrity of the frame is maintained without any plating, boxing, or bracing. As well as it still looks like the original frame. I am located near the Sacramento, CA area. Email custimizr@aol.com

Don't know how to shorten one but I have a short box for sale.  It was originally purchased for a 1979 F150 but the project just never got done.  If you're interested email me at sharing2@earthlink.net.  Thanks.

Also go to TECHNICAL scroll down to page 9. Project Old School. They also shorten a 63 chev.

To the editor don't ever take it off the web. A really good referance.
