1973-87 Squarebody Chevy & GMC Truck Longbed to Shortbed Conversion Kit 

Any updates on your square body how did the kit turned out

Thanks for watching!

I would love that too I need that right now lol

Yes. I've passed up so many good deals on long beds over the years. I didn't think it was practical to do this. Now I'll be on the lookout for a clean, long bed.

@@coyotelife9732…I have one for ya..

This product was just released, we are taking pre-orders right now and expect to be shipping these kits Mid-November once we have the packaging and instructions finished..

LOL, thanks for watching!

That video will be available soon. Like Dave mentioned, we are working on a complete instructional video right now that will be released before year end.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV it works in my 89 Chevy long bed frame

@@arturoeschistosocervantes4626 Yes

We'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV I think that it’s more like… “How bout a video on the frame crack repair right below the cab on the passenger side where my fat ass girlfriend always sits when we go out!?!?!? I have always heard that this is common on square body Chevys. Especially when her lard-ass won’t listen and get in the back of the bed like she is instructed to do in the first place!!! Btw, once I get this large crack fixed, I am honestly contemplating breaking up with her because she just won’t fucking listen to anything I say to her!!! It’s not like I tell her to get in the back for no reason!!! I mean, I really and truly just do NOT want to be seen, by my friends and family, with her up front with me anyways, but that is besides the point!!! My main issue with her is that she just won’t listen!!! And that is not to mention that her humongous ass won’t quit eating either. All she wants to do is eat, other than crack the frame of my beloved truck!!! Thank you, awesome videos, keep them coming!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We don't have any information related to the S-10 pickups. Sorry

find a donor short bed truck, get all the measurements and find exactly what you need to cut. they usually makes these frames pretty similar and sometimes with matching holes for different configurations

@@headlesnorseman701 Thanks 🙏 I have been doing some research on these frames and trying to figure out how much and what to do for me to succeeding my dream truck!

@@kevinholbrook7174 If you don’t mind me asking, why are you wanting to “stretch” the short bed into a long bed? Which I will say that when lowered the long bed looks pretty good. But I’m not entirely sure that the long bed would look better. Either way, good luck with your adventure.

We would probably recommend a bond unless you are OK with eliminating the factory seam.

Not yet available for the 88-99 trucks, maybe someday!

I've only owned one truck in my entire life and that was a 1978 Dodge custom single cab short bed that I inherited from my uncle. This wasn't all that long ago back in 2002 when I was 17, boy did I love that truck it was awesome but when it came to using it for work it didn't always work out if we were hauling stuff with it. The neighbor down the street owned a very similar truck to mine except his was a 79 cab and a half long bed. It was a much more comfortable ride than mine just for the reason that there was more room. Recently I got it in my head that I want to take a 2004 F150 and converted to a 2009 . I've seen it done and some of them you really can't tell unless you look inside and you see the older style interior. I've been seeing those older F-150 pop up for a couple thousand dollars I think it'd be fun taking up a little project like that

Yes absolutely! Once you have it welded in you can take the bolts out and weld the holes.

Good eye!

1500-2300 is the prices I've gotten

Fuel lines come with our kit along with the proper parking brake cables. The driveshaft will need to be shortened by a professional. There are options for replacing the fuel tank, so we leave that open to you when you shorten the truck. The bed, we sell bedsides and floors or you could find a used bed. Additionally, we are working on a video to show you how to shorten your own bedsides.

So much fun ahead!

By the end of November (2021).

No sir, right now only for 1963-1987.

Coming out in a couple weeks. Just shot it in our studio recently.

No, unfortunately it won't.

Eventually we will, but only once we start carrying product for those trucks which should be mid-2022

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV ok cool sounds great keep up the good work

No more unsafe than that model having the gas tank outside the frame rail!! Anyway they extra layer in there will keep it at least as rigid as factory. Remember it used to be legal to repair vehicles this way when vehicles had two frame rails.

We were shooting for mid to late October 2021 initially, adjusted timeline looks like we will probably start shipping kits in mid November.

That video is in the works, keep an eye out!

Mid to late October 2021.

No sir, sorry

No sir. Sorry

We just shot one, should be out mid-January.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thank you, can’t wait!

Most of them yes, however, there is one model that it will not work on. Please click the link in the video description and read the notes on our product page to see if your truck would be excluded.

You would want to cut a Z if you weren't using a C-Channel to reinforce the frame after the cut. Both options spread the stress over a wider area so the cut doesn't fail after its joined together.

Both ootions are legal in most places, hot roxs usually use the z because they didnt have a kit

Call the shop and we'll walk you through how to measure the frame to see if it will work.

Not at the moment (Oct 2022)

We have no intention of creating a kit for the C30/K30 at this time. The C30 and K30 use a completely different frame than the C10-C20-K10-K20 models. Because of the difference and the extremely low number of people wanting to shorten those models, we have no current plans to create a kit for the C30/K30.

I'm interested

@@emanuelfelixreza9195 Thank you, we'll make note of it and if we get enough interest we'll look into engineering a kit.

It depends... there are two versions of the C20. If yours is under 8000 GVWR then it will work.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Mines is 7500... I bought it. I guess I'll see if it works.

Hello, it will not.

Someday we'll have those too.

Different holes, different dimensions, different frame thickness, etc, etc... We don't foresee any kit ever being produced for the crew cab truck frames. Just not enough demand.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV would it work for a 1984 single cab c20? Or is the frame thicker also?

@@Certifiedtray310 It works for MOST C20's except for the ones that have an 820 GVWR on the tag in the door jamb. Click the product link in the video description and you'll be able to see an image of what you're looking for.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thanks, do you guys carry a 8 lug to 5 lug conversion kit? there use to be a c20- c10 conversion spindle but I think the company went out of business

@@Certifiedtray310 we dont specifically carry an 8 lug to 5 lug kit, but it's 100% doable with available parts. Front end needs to be "downgraded" to 1/2 ton parts and the rear axles need to be swapped.

Not at the moment.

Appearance

same reason old schools are even a thing 😂

Parking. Easier backing in. No space for the fat mother in law. 😂

Looks better

Short beds are just better looking if your doing a restore and want a sporty truck

Oh. I want a long bed personally but I’m just wanting a low tech reliable work beast

Cause it’s ugly AF

Looks better,worth twice the price,and long beds are just ugly asf

We have tested this kit on 4x4 frames already and it works!
