datzenmike Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you have the two complete chassis, then swap the shorter driveshaft and e brake cables onto the shortened frame. Gas and brake lines would need to be dealt with. The front bed (or tray) mounts will need to be removed and moved back about 10" on the frame in order to bolt to the shorter box?

fliptrip Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks datzenmike - but the reference to two chassis is that they are both long base ones. SWB very very uncommon here in NZ. Thanks for the info about the tray mounts. If you have the two complete chassis, then swap the shorter driveshaft and e brake cables onto the shortened frame. Gas and brake lines would need to be dealt with. The front bed (or tray) mounts will need to be removed and moved back about 10" on the frame in order to bolt to the shorter box? (going from poor memory) So list: Remove 9.5 inches from straight part of chassis just rear of cab & reweld Shorten drive shaft 9.5 inches Shorten brake cable Shorten brake lines Swap fuel tanks + shorten fuel lines shorten or (coil wiring) move front tray mounts back 9.5 inches?

Valvebounce Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Pm Sparkle at os. He got a repro tray, which I think is a long? Are you coming to Old School nationals? It's going to be off the chain. Quote Link to comment
