So now my frame is a short bed frame. The funny thing is that it is off square by 1/8". That is the best I could get it. anyway it took me a good 4 to 6 hours to do this. Was a pain to line it all up again. I had a box of c-clamps and a hand full of square tube steel to help line it all up. I think its coming along well. I also think that this part is going to be the easy part of the conversion. Here are some pics, enjoy.
This Blog is designed to showcase my 1967 Chevrolet Pickup which was a C20 long bed. It has been converted to a C10 and the chassis and bed have been shortened to make it a short bed. It is going to be a RestoMod, or Muscle Truck. I also have postings from other projects that I have and this one that will be posted on a blog called http://boyescustoms.blogspot.com/ Thanks for looking.

In the welding buisness now!
Well I think I mentioned that I wired my welder up last Friday. So yesterday I got my CO2 tank filled and I ran some welds on some old scraps of frame. Felt so good to be welding again, I was giddy about it all night. So today I got some scrap steel and braced up the 67 frame in preparation to cut that sucker in half. So I was going to wait but I decided to go for it. I got some of it cut but I need some more cut off wheels. So here are some pics.

Nothing to new going on.
So not much has happened since I moved the two frames into the garage. Until today, my brother in law came over and helped me strip most of the stuff off the 66 frame. So that helped. and the other day I wired up 220 volt for my welder and made a 25' extension cord for it. Now all I need is C02 and I will be welding. So you know That 67 frame will be short real soon. It feels good to have a welder again. Its like getting an arm back or something. Anyway that about it so I will throw some pics on of the frame when I get started.
