im takin a 1993 d250 long bed and makin it a short bed.. i hope tonight to have the frame cut and welded then i can finish the brake lines up and get it wired up..

 

dang that is gonna be awesome when its done! that thing should be a rocket too, may need slicks and hopefully its got an LSD rear

And because its a 93 it looks like it has the tall heavy frame.

you get my pm?? about the track wed. night ??

 

yea i dont think c12h26 will make it but im gona try to have the short bed done enough to bring it down.

and yea its got the tall frame..

 

nice shop too man, wish we had something like that.

hope to see you there wed. night

 

looks like a cool project. Hope you clean the frame up a little before you put that nice clean bed on it.

How heavy is a standard 8ft bed? Can two people left it off the frame without killing them selfs?

 

I had a hard time flopping a free dually bed onto a trailer with 2 guys. when the 3rd came it was much easier!

 

2 of us moved this short bed so 3 would be better with a long bed..
and yea im gonna paint the frame once i get it put back together..

 

two strong people that aren't afraid to hurt the underside of their forearms...yes.

What my dad and I do is wrap our arms up under the wheel wells and use your stiff forearms to lift it up.. it'll leave red marks on your arms when you get done . If it has linex/rhino line theres no way, you would not believe how heavy that stuff is

did you finally find a bed Zack or you doing the bodywork ?

 

Yeah 2 guys can hoist a dually bed on a trailer, with a little bit of "scattergun" ambition...........

I see the project is comming along. U got er all registered n what not??? The gov spring n Carfax are in the mail by the way. Should see it in 2 days Rick. How'd ya make out with them 2nd gen parts for me?

 

just doing some hack job body work. i am no good at body work but as long as the rust goes away and the bed is strong enough to hold fire wood i will be happy.

 

Should be a fun project when you get it done.

 

here are some more pics





tomorrow ill finish up the break lins and sand and paint the frame and finish the drive shaft..

 

lets see some frame pics

 

lookin good Ricky! gap between the bed and the cab looks perfect.

Is it gonna be ready by tomorrow night ?

 

well i didnt get much time to work on it today but i did get my drive shaft done



i hope tomorrow to get the breaks done and then a fuel cell..
