how much of a drop are you going with?

Gonna drop this truck the same I dropped my 1976 GMC.

Beautiful truck. Never seen an original in that good of condition. Also never thought of myself as a purist til I saw this rig, ha. Any thought to putting that long bed in the rafters? I know they are kinda the equivalent of 4 door cars at the moment but that might not always be true. Nice find!

Gonna have the long bed sides cut down to make them short bed sides. Kyle is doing it. I bought my 72 chevy from him that he cut down I have a thread for this truck on the 67-72 side, I call the truck #whitelie. Kyle is @c10ares on instagram.

Just making sure.

I have the 14" taken out of the front of mine, i just haven't cut the rear yet.

That is what is taken out of the bed?, no need to take that much out of the frame. IIRC I only took ~3 off the rear frame. Leaves a little more room for mounting the bumper

aggie91 · 09-19-2016, 10:41 AM

very nice truck you started with. Hard to find them that nice.

That bolt on kit looks like a great way to go. Is it made from 1/4" plate? Just wondering about the spring hanger getting spaced out that extra bit, if it causes any binding issues?

klwebb · 09-19-2016, 01:20 PM

ive read that its 12 inches and 8 inches, but i guess 20 inches is 20 inches, what are you doing about the drive shaft?

Its 12" on the 63-72 trucks (127" long wheelbase to 115" short wheelbase)
Its 14" on the 73-87 trucks (134.5" long wheelbase to 117.5"short wheelbase)

That makes sense. I should probably educate myself more on this process since I'm converting mine hopefully in the next month!

Got quite the looker there!! But I may be biased to 73 and the green/white combo (ours is 73 only marine turquoise though) come by our build thread we've done a neat trailing arm rear suspension on our LWB to SWB conversion

hardwaa · 09-29-2016, 02:19 AM

Kyle @c10acres in IG did an amazing job on cutting the longed sides into short bed sides.

cochino12 · 09-29-2016, 09:00 AM

damn those look good! I wish I could find someone here to do that for me

SCOTI · 09-29-2016, 09:17 AM

Very clean. Outstanding work!

I was thinking the same thing.

phillipm · 09-29-2016, 11:09 AM

Does Kyle normally have to sand back that much on the front or was there an issue that popped up?

aggie91 · 09-29-2016, 11:13 AM

That looks good. He did some great work. A good painter should be able match that and hide the work...

I believe that there was some damage that needed repaired on the front.

That is correct Ken. Kyle ended up using a piece from a different bed side I gave him. Passenger Side was much easier Kyle said. Here is passenger side pic.

amazing work

bluex · 10-02-2016, 07:21 PM

Very cool truck, love the colors.

Its funny how in about 2004 I got a lot of flack when I shortened my truck using a straight cut. Now there are several kits out that use the straight cut an bolt back together an no one says a word.

Low Elco · 10-03-2016, 01:35 PM

Cool truck, saw the work on IG, he does a great job!

I still dont agree with a straight cut frame if all your going to do is weld the cut and add a small plate like most I have seen done via that method.
Whats being done here is a straight cut but has a significant amount of reinforcement on all sides and extends away from the cut adequately.

I never realized there are kits like this available, sure seems like a nice reinforcement.

I think this is the first kit (outside of the backhalf kits that Choppin Block has).
