I just picked up an 84 Long Bed my question is with this kit if i already sourced out a short bed and short bed driveshaft instead of cutting my longbed and long bed driveshaft would that short bed and shaft bolt right up as well?

I'm considering doing this to my 84 c20 long bed but it's an 8 lug, do you guys sale a 5 lug conversion kit or know the easiest way to convert?
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Год назад
Easiest way to convert is to swap all the front end parts (ball joints, tie rods, etc) for 1/2t parts and then swap the axles for 5 lug pieces.

Naaa , this is complicated as hell ,, just cut at the end of bed and thats it . Cut bed and then frame about 6 inch and then weld it and you don't have to do all this bs , lve done it before so.. It be easy if you cut with the plasma do lol

Is this only for half tons? Does it reduce the payload specs and if so how much?
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV
@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Год назад
This will also work on MOST 3/4t trucks. It does not reduce the payload unless you also intend to change the suspension parts to 1/2t pieces.

This kit works on 3/4t trucks as long as you DO NOT have the 8200 GVW on your tag as shown in this pic: images.holley.com/ltsc38773-75_08.jpg If your truck has this GVW tag it will not work because your frame is actually manufactured from THICKER steel than a normal 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck.
