Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

completely

that is what I was thinking....cutting it under the cab will just shorten where the cab sits, I dunno how you would ever get +/-12 inches out of the frame under the cab. I think you are going to have to cut behind the cab and work with the angle, graft on a short bed frame from the cab back, or extend a extra-cab short bed frame.....

but I haven't paid attention to how the long bed frames are. Could you move the front spring hangers forward and shorten the frame under the middle of the bed then just move the rear spring hangers back?

a lot of it will depend on where the bed bolts are on the short bed in relation to the long bed.

:haha::haha::haha:

That's perfect!!!!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol:


There is about a foot before the frame bends upward to where it will hit the cab if i do cut it under the cab. Still have to put a tape to it and do some figuring, that would be cool to just cut the back of frame off and move the spring hangers but id have to look at it more to see if that would be better to do it that way or not..

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Dude, quit making such a fuss out of this. Just chop the frame about 2 feet behind the cab and leave it sticking out like a couple of handles for Joe to hang onto while he pushes you around town. You can rev the engine for effect and hang some chinese lights on it...................

I fix things quick.

I'm just sayin.....................

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Scott......Ok, that makes sense.
If I remember correctly you need to remove 12" behind the cab.
It would be a lot of work, but I think it would be helpful to pull the beds off one of your short bed trucks and the crew and compare them side by side....

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

If you were going to do that, why not just chop and swap?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Hey there ya go thats the spirit :metal: :lol:

I got a bed and a tailgate for $50 buckaroos, and Joe231 picked it up for me on his way back from getting new parts himself :metal:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

you lost me.....
Swap what?

sweet!!!

Did anyone come through on the rear diff?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Nope a bunch of grown sissys that set up a time to come by and look and cant even give a courtesy call or return your call and say they are not interested.... hell i dont care if they dont buy it anyways just dont waste my time :devil:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Take his shortbed 3/4 ton that's not running anyway and cut the frame off behind the cab and swap it with the crew.

Then he can swap his half ton suspension from the white truck.

See I fix things FAST!!!

:D

Have you figured out haw to shorten the Frame Yet, Gonna be a Challenge because These frames are so much different than the Sqr bodies.......

Man o man, Don't get me started on CL, I had a Guy supposed to come at noon today & i waited 2 hrs for a no show no call........

I have & will never do that to somebody unless it were an emergency, Would still have the Courtesy to Call...........
