I shorten a 67 Chevy Frame and didn't do one single thing to it , i simply got a short bed Frame 67 truck, $600 for the whole Truck , cab was junk but Frame was A-1 . No cutting , No Welding
You mentioned rounding the corners, I saw one done like that and they used a hole saw on the piece being removed before the cuts were made, then used a grinder to round the cut corners to match!
Yep exactly. I did that on my last frame before this one. Just a little more work but nice rounded corners instead of sharp points. It’s all preference I guess.
@@Rawdogg405 Nice! Do you have a social or a page I can follow and watch your progress? I’m going to do a video for shortening the bed too soon. Right now I’m waiting for my frame coat to come in today and I’ll do a little video in that as well. 🤙🏻👊🏻
Im doing one my self but no cutting involved just moved control arms forward 1 foot still have enough room for travel with out touching the frame then just cut it off at the rear of frame.will be done soon.And relocate spring purches and shock mounts.
I was going to shorten my frame then I found in classic industries you can buy brand new frame rails my frame was in bad shape so it was better for me to buy new
Watched this video about 10 times now while cutting my frame up hahah
🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻
Thanks for taking the time. I’m also in the process of cutting my 70 C10.
Sweet! Where can I watch your progress?

@@franknunez1613 Good luck brother, hope it helps. Not as hard as it seems once you get into it.

I found a long frame for my project and i'm about to start cutting it down.

Looks good! I’m currently in the same process with my 1970 gmc.
Thanks man! It’s a fun process especially when it’s done and you can sit back and look at all the work you’ve done.
@@superioraddiction1 I can’t wait! I just finished the bed shortening now I’m on to the frame

Subbed because of Pantera and the Chad Muska board
Thanks! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Rock on Dude!
Good work
Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m so glad I’ve never done this. This inspired me to keep my long bed long. Ffs 🤦♂️ 😂
Did u cut the rear uv the frame or just in front
Yea I cut 8 inches off the back of the frame
@superioraddiction1 ok thanks bro good work
@@juanjasso9424 Thank you sir! 🙏🏻
Did u use 110 welder im gonna use miller 135
No, my welder is a 240 volt. It’s an old school systematic mp175 but it works fantastic. I did use a 110 miller 211 on my previous build.
you got too much to say
a guy talking to himself, sorry video.

That’s interesting.. I’ll have to investigate and see what kind of pricing they have. I have a couple other trucks still to do yet..
@@superioraddiction1 I think I paid 2 grand Canadian not cheap but my frame was in bad shape
