Shortening my 96 Club Cab
 
Wow, that was a beauty before you cut it up. And a real beauty after you finished it! Nice Job:cool: I'd have a shortbox if I did'nt have so many tools to haul. Hey, maybe I could have two 2nd gen Cummins's. Thanks, now you got my wife mad at me[laugh] That's one clean 96 shorty!

hey... tell me where the dirt cheap 98 shorty is, cuz i uploaded some dirty undercarriage pics of my truck for ya [laugh]
the truck drives a lot on the fields, NO PAVEMENT! and i didnt clean it either!

so here they are:
A friend has done it to 8 trucks already, and i let him do it, he had the frame and everything done, in one day (except the bed)

for $300 or $350 i forgot.
He cut the frame, welded it together, grinded it flat for the looks,

and put a steel plate over it on the inner side with 8 bolts
