Short box conversion here we come. We are finally getting the chance to convert the long bed to a short bed @ Rusty Duck Garage The finished bed will be the same length as the stock original ShortBed. We chose to convert this to a short bed just because we like them better. And they don't take up as much garage space. The 79 C 10 as you will see in the videos that the bed is virtually rust free. As we cut the bed you can see inside and there is no rust. I chose to leave the bed mounted to the frame. In this video I cut the rear section removing 6 inches from the bed sides and the bed floor. I also cut off 6 inches from the frame. I moved the rear crossmember forward to holes that were already in the frame. I moved the rear section forward and made sure everything lined up properly. I took several measurements to make sure that it fit the way that it should. In the next few weeks I will be welding the rear section on and cutting on the front section. The front section will take longer to do because of the fuel tanks the driveshaft the brake lines in the emergency brake cables that will need to be shortened. However I learned a lot while cutting this rear section and will be able to do it much quicker on the front section. Almost no rust. ls Stay tuned to the end where we have some visitors. hope you enjoy this video. Thank you. 383 and tell us what you think. Primered is best. c20
