Have any of you guys done this before on a 99-07 1500 or 2500 gm truck?

I have an o3 RCLB gmc 2500, and been tossing the idea of making it to a short bed.

I know ill need the frame shortend, bed, leafspring, and driveshaft from a 1500
anything else....rearend maybe??

 

Take it to DB rods and customs and let him do it for ya. Please.

 

It shouldn't be that hard. May have to shorten some brake lines and gas lines depending on where you cut the frame.

 

I hope this is a diesel. At least then it would be worth it imo,I would trade my truck in a second if they offered a rcsb duramax powered silverado.

 

It's too long that's not something you hear very often.

Plasma a mig and a different bed and you are in business should be fairly straight forward. I believe long or shortbed the springs are the same. The fuel tank for the shortbed is shorter though and is a smaller capacity due to lack of space. Take the driveshaft to a shop and get it shortened and you are good to go.

 

is there any measurements out there for someone doing it themselves???
