Re: Starting Shortbed Conversion Tomorrow

olsmokey,
I literally just did this conversion a couple months ago. The only thing that i did different than what the threads or Gears did was i put the phish plate on the outside of the frame. It was alot easier to weld and i kinda like the look. measure three times, then just go for it. Now, the interesting part is that on gears they used a saws-all for the z cut on the round portion, well i tried this and decided to try something else. I honestly used a jig saw with a metal blade and it worked surprisingly easy! It really is easy, and it will surprise you how simple it is, just do your research and if you have a direct question, ask it here, the help here has been awesome!!!
good luck and please post pics.
