    Always wondered what kind of job it was to do this, now if I run across a clean long bed I won’t dismiss taking a look at it after watching this video. Thanks!

    I got a #wrongbed and I love it!!!!!! Every time i got to Lowe’s, Home Depot, load the kayaks, or all 3 dogs - the functionality is unmatched!!!! Also, your truck is amazing man. Hell of a build and hell of a channel. You should be proud of yourself.

      Yeah I've never understood why people don't like longbeds. I love my "88 Chevy obs longbed.... especially w' it's 35 year old natures paint job "patina" lowered on 20" Boyd steelies.

    Awesome video! Don’t think I’m brave enough to try this on my own, especially since I’ll be shortening the bed itself in order to utilize the entire existing body.

    Did you have any issues installing the fuel tank because the kit blocks 2 of the mounting holes for the tank mount

  • @Fahrenheit_Motorsports
    @Fahrenheit_Motorsports ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you supply your own hardware to reattach the front spring perch? I only have enough hardware for one side or enough to hang everything they supplied in the kit. I don’t have enough hardware to hang the perches back on the frame.
    I can see in the video you have yours bolted on but you didn’t cover that part so I’m assuming you ran into the same issue. Thanks

    • @GreaseMonkeyTV
      @GreaseMonkeyTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      I honestly can’t remember. I do keep a lot of hardware on hand. I bet you could call these guys and they’d send some out. Ask Clint and tell him I sent you.

      @@GreaseMonkeyTV I did! Clint with their sales team got me squared away no questions asked. I told him what hardware I had received and what I believed to have been missing from the order. He said they created an internal work order and would have the missing hardware shipped out ASAP as well as follow up after delivery. Old school, A+ customer service. I appreciate the recommendation from you.

    Was removing the hangers a must.? It seems like it could have been done without that step. Just measured from another point. I've got the kit coming. I was just curious

    • @GreaseMonkeyTV
      @GreaseMonkeyTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      I wondered the same thing. Best way to locate the cuts accurately for sure. Only adds 10-15 minutes to the job TBH.

    Hi, you make it look so easy. Great tutorial. What blade are you using to make the chassis cuts? Thanks

      Thanks! Just a 4 1/2” cutoff wheel. DeWalt brand I believe.

    Save $400 and just measure/chalk it out yourself. It’s really not tough to draw two lines and cut.

      Use short bed hoses. 2 rear mount bolts need holes drilled or left out.
