I don't see how you can cut under the cab. according to the info I have found you need to remove 14" from the frame. I thought the problem was that there isn't enough room between the back of the cab and where the frame angles up. cutting under the cab you will have the same problem, the angled up piece will hit the cab before you get 14", and you will still need to re-locate the front bed mounts.
another option would be to move the front hanger forward and shorten the frame above and forward of the rear axle, that would keep all the shock mounts and the cross bracing in the correct place.

or Scott, you could (as Travis had mentioned) get the green one running then back half the crew and the white one to use the back half from the white one on the crew. That would give you the correct gas tank and all that jazz.

[scotts62]

There is enough room before the curve in frame but just barely but if someone didnt like how close it was it wouldnt be a big deal to notch the frame or cab a bit to get the clearance you wanted.

Yeah that would be an idea because ol whitey has about had it anyways

Well my shortbed is on!!??

[joe231]

Aaron is making you look bad Scott.

[scotts62]

yeah but got the cart before the horse..there is a walkway between the cab and bed

[scotts62]

Well i got some stuff done on it today. Ground off some rivets and done some measuring, just have some clamps holding it close to where it needs to go for now.

[wildmanaaron]

Do you remember how much you had to move the hanger forward? I think there is roughly 18" difference right?

[scotts62]

Nope same as you would have to cut and shorten your frame, 14 in

decisions decisions

you must be thinking hard because you posted the same pic twice

[wildmanaaron]

How did you know where to move the front hanger to?

I got under a 99 or 2000 shortbed 4x4 and took some decent pictures of the set-up. I still dont know how I want to cut the frame down.

1. When you move the front hanger down and forward doesnt this actually raise the truck?

2. Do you think the shortbed gas tank will work now? I already have the front hanger bracket assembly that is used on shortbed trucks. It was already off of a truck at the local PullA Part just laying in a bed.

3. So where is the difference between the short and longbed frames actually at? In the raised arear behind the cab?

I just moved it straight forward because if you follow the frame yes it will raise the truck.

Yeah the shortbed tank will work now, i just wish i could use this one, i might just move the brackets forward and tank down just a bit to clear the back of the cab but not sure.. ill see about that when i get to it.

Yeah i think so but i havent seen a stock crew to put them side by side to actually check.

[scotts62]

Got some work done on the crew be on the lookout for pics

Sweet!!
I liked it better with the flip.

Or just get bigger wheels and tires
