I drove over 6 hours to take my 77 for him to do. I was not disappointed. I highly recommend him.

As a retired welder, that is a beautiful job of welding and plating the frame, I like the oval plate with plug welds as a frame reinforcement!!!

Nice job

Clean work

Thanks for sharing a great video

I'm about to cut My long bed and this is SO helpfull thanks man

That’s why we put these videos out

Good evening, I had to have my new rollback truck frame lengthened and they did not do a superior splice like you did. That is good engineering and excellent craftsmanship. I do like your plates on the splice with the rounded edges. That is exactly how aircraft panel splice work is done. Great video. You take care and good luck.

Awesome I thought about the fish plate too and here it is great job.

Amazing work , you’re so fast and skilled man , and thank you for sharing all the info , I’ve got the 67-72 Bumpside Broncos made in Brazil 🇧🇷 I love the 67-72 as well as my favourite trucks . All the best from Kangaroo 🦘 Island 🏝️ South Australia 🇦🇺

Beautiful job of reinforcing, I have seen it done with just fishplates inside the frame. I know a group of truck enthusiasts doing their trucks that way and worked well. I guess each to their own as to how much you want to reinforce it

When dealing with customers, we like to go above and beyond. We also do it this way so the customer won’t try to sell it as all original to someone else without them knowing the frame has been heavily modified.

Awesome work man

If you don’t care about the stake pockets it would be even easier. Pretty much do a straight cut just up at the front. If you’re like me and don’t care about the 4” in the rear it gets even easier still.

I like the rounded frame stiffeners Also have some quality welds on there

Thx for sharing great video

Nice job.

nice work

Perfect die versterking u bent een ingenieur

Saludos sr buen trabajo ✌️

Good job👍

I prefer a long edition but I totally agree with your method of cutting. I have being welding of one sort or another for half my working life and z cuts are always stronger.

For sure, am going to have to bring my 70 f100 in to you

Well done

I just bought a 78 F150 Ranger Lariat which I am thinking about making a short bed. Are you able to let me know roughly ( estimate - sight unseen of course ) how much such a job costs? I am in PA but would send truck down there somehow.

Not too shabby....

Add a side step 🔥🔥🔥

Your good.

Have you done a dentside? I’m about to get started shortening the bed by 16”, just can’t seem to get the perfect mark ups on the inner and outer bed sides yet. Not gonna cut until I’m 100% certain I have everything where I want it

Question for ya? Why did you cut the mid section of the frame 12” and 4” in back and 16” and 4” in the bed ? Am I missing something?

post a video of when you did the back half please...

Nice job but,the frame is considered spring steel and must be drilled and riveted or bolted to remain flexible,in some states it’s illegal to weld a frame!

Unless a frame is marked do not weld, it is ok to weld. Most standard automotive frames are welded from the factory. Only in the case of semi trucks is it illegal to weld on the frame.

I'm a little late to the party here, but do you still own the long bed you took off? If so, I'll make you an offer for it. I'm looking for one to replace what I have on my '78 F100. I've got a little too much rust to deal with. Thanks.

What would you charge to do this to another f100

Shortening a truck from 8 foot to 6 foot is the most insane thing I have heard of. Take away hauling capacity and room ?

@russgould707

I fully agree. People do it all kinds of work to make their truck useless. People will start to think all the long beds look better when there are hardly any of them left.

Useless ???? How do you figure this just by shortening the bed ?? I have a factory short bed on mine and never had an issue,,, haul 16 foot lumber and ladders with no problems... Now if one is done that involves putting it on a Crown Vic frame and using up the bed depth,, I can see your point... To each his own... Anyway,,, there’s way more long beds than short out there.... Have a good one....

@@shawnwimberly9294 Ha. Hauling 16 foot lumber in a 6 foot bed. Totally grounded in reality. Some people would draw a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Maybe your dicks too long too, might go in for a bob job. I heard chicks like em better. Just because a bunch of people get together who have bad taste, magically makes them all think that suddenly they all have the same now good taste because everyone share their ideas. And a cult of bad taste is born. Just like that.

Not if you compare how much these short bed trucks sell for over a long bed!

It kills me every time I see somebody take a long bed and destroy it.
