Re: looking for info on shorting a lwb

I Z cut my 73 K20 frame in the straight section in front of the rear spring hangers. I shortened it 8" to get the wheelbase that I needed for putting my 57 long bed body on the 73 long bed donor chassis, but it's the same job no matter the length that you need. After I shortened it, I also welded plates over the joints. You can see them in the picture of after I got the frame sand blasted.
