Man I'm glad I found this video. I'm about to do the same to my 59 Apache. Was going to cut 12 out of the center and 8 off the back. This looks like a little less work not having to relocate the back cab body mounts

I'm going to do this to a 57 3200. It's a factory big window cab with all the chrome and stainless and factory V-8 truck. I'm also adding factory 4x4. I have all the correct parts to do the 4x4 right. 57 was was first year for factory installed 4x4.

Great job Chuck! Great information. Trying to get the guts to shorten my 1955 3200. In the video, your markings show a 9.25” cut but on your text message towards the end it mentions 9.5”. I know it’s only 1/4”, what should I cut off? Again, great job! Thanks for sharing.

Chuck y ese Apache? Lo vas a vender? Do you also have to shorten the transmission bar when you shorten the chasis? Yes I saw you did after I wrote this comment. I’ve never seen video like this one and I’ve searched all over KZitem. Well done and well explained

Are you going to use the same bed you should have showed us how you slid it in

Hi there - nice job! Very informative! Regarding shortening the stepside bed afterwards, do you only need to take material from behind the fender? Is there a certain amount that needs to be removed? Or a specific method? Thanks
