It's Finally DONE! Lot's of messing around but my 1971 C10 has officially been transformed from a long bed to a short bed. I finished up all the brackets and moved the shocks for proper travel. Then I started to piece the bed back together. The new box sides from LMC sure made my life A LOT easier. For the bed floor I did cheap out and went with a sheet of 3/4 inch ply wood and cut it down to size. Once the bed was squared up and the wood was in place it was time to bolt everything down. So weird sandwiching wood and metal to make a truck box, but GM must of known what they were doing. Once I had the box on the truck, it had a real nose high stance because I pulled a few leafs out of the rear suspension. So off the front wheel came and I blew apart the front suspension. Probably not the best way to lower a vehicle but chopping a couple coils off sure makes a difference in the stance. Now the truck is all together and I'm feeling waaaaay more motivated to finish it up.

Wow.... It just makes me wonder how many of the short beds out there are factory. Short beds are much more desirable and bring lots more money. Great way to make a cooler truck . It the total package. short bed, lowered , and LS conversion. Hats off...

A nicer way to lower coils is take the gas axe to the bottom of the coil and heat a section at a times and as it heats it will collapse in place in a really controlled way until you get your ride height
