1973-87 Squarebody Chevy & GMC Truck Longbed to Shortbed Conversion Kit

BROTHERS kit will take all the confusion out of this conversion and will provide you with all the necessary provisions to complete this popular conversion in a clear step-by-step process.

BROTHERS kit includes: laser cut steel template with hole locations and steps clearly marked - high strength steel inner "C" channel reinforcement brace - new shortbed front-to-rear brake line - new shortbed parking brake cables - all necessary hardware to install the kit - highly detailed instructions.

With BROTHERS conversion kit, you will have everything needed to shorten your longbed frame with basic hand tools in your own garage. The kit does require welding to finish the conversion but with our bolt-in steel inner braces, you will be able to safely transport the vehicle to a certified welder if needed. The driveshaft will also have to be shortened before re-installlation.

Love the videos. Just bought my first square body. 1983 k10. In fact just placed an order for a few parts today as well.

Holly macaroni!!! Really miss my old c10 short bed and with this kit it will be way cheaper to build one. The Elder at my job site told me about this kit and I really need to get a kit. Thank you for this amazing video. Im subscribing to your channel just for this content. Thank you again.

Wish I had known about this all along. Ive seen so many nice long beds for sale but always avoided them.

How about a video on front frame crack repair were steering wheel pump is located! My truck has a crack and I hear is common on square body chevys! Thank you awesome videos keep them coming 👍👍

I love watching this video on this type of information and I was hoping that you would have the same information about lengthening a short bed to a long bed on a Chevrolet S-10? I can’t exactly find what I am looking for actually! Thanks 🙏

Nice cut then weld it with extra metal for extra strength 👍

[fbbc]

Wow do have that for the 88/99 chevy c1500 cool vid .

Can the bolts be removed and welded shut? I'm just not a fan of all the Frankenstein bolts

[brentrobinson]

Would like to see a square body roof skin replacement very interested in how to tackle the rear without panel bond

Where do I find the conversion kit in this video?

[vinceesparza]

Why won’t it work with a GVWR of 8200 or greater ?? Thanks

[vinceesparza]

Question ? Are the frames different for this year because I try to order a kit and they told me it won’t work because my GVWR is 8200 ???? Anybody why

[redneckwithajeep]

I never did really understand the short bed craze but then again I tend to do things with trucks (yes that includes classic trucks) that you shouldn't do and probably can't with a short bed

[robr]

Does this kit work for 4x4 chassis's too??

[mr.g]

I just have one question how safe is this I mean we're taking the frame and cutting a piece off of it will that affect any of the structural support . Not that I'm going to use mine for off-roading but I am curious how safe is it

[dennis]

I was on your website. Read the instructions and saw the kit is not applicable to 3/4 ton trucks with GVW greater than 8200 lbs. Is there something in particular about the geometry that is different or is it a structural concern? Please explain why the kit will not work.

[TyceHudon]

Does the exhaust, brake lines and fuel lines all still fit after you shorten the bed?
