my thing about it is if your going to take a swb frame and c notch it, bag it, or heavily modify it in anyway, why not take a long bed frame and cut it down like this and save the unmolested short frame

This is THE BEST way to do this. You're an inspiration and I never knew I'd be doing this myself when this episode originally aired. I'm now using this video as a literal template for a build I'm working on. Thank you and I'll shout out your channel next episode. Thanks a bunch!

@@rottweilerdog10 How do ya have a "long bed" but ya say its "STAYING" as a short bed??? I'm confused. I understand the passion for workin on ya car/truck but when ya chop and do all other sorts of modding the "originalness" goes out the winder which makes your particular vehicle a rarity!

There's some clowns out there that have a parts business that also have a video of this mod. Only they use a vertical cut, not safe in my opinion. S D good job ,done rite. Too many posers that wear all the rite clothes and have fancy hair cuts,and try to be so car culture. They don't know shit .

Absolutely agree. I really don't think the way Stacey does it is hard, it is definitely safer. I wouldn't put myself or my family in a truck that was cut in half with the brothers kit. The Brothers short bed conversion kit is asking for trouble, not to mention lawsuits.

It's about 100x easier; BUT this method really hides that any hackery was ever done. Seeing 72 bolts holding 2 halves of the frame together of the Brother's Kit when you look under the truck is a dead give away it's a hack job.

He seems to have forgotten the part about phosphatizing and repainting the bare metal after the cuts, grinding and welding of the frame. If you don't, your truck frame will fall in two pieces within 5 to 10 years if not sooner from rusting apart.

It would be more cost effective to get a SWB truck. A conversion is so extensive that you may as well do a concourse build. It involves tearing it down to the frame, fab work, and paint work. The average joe will not be welding their frame back with a 110v welder....I hope. Just buy a SWB, and save your money.

I've been watching since I was 10 or younger (nearly 40 now), and I don't mean to be negative. However, some things are done simply to advertise products. In this case, LMC truck sponsored this most likely.
