    Is it possible to replace a long stepside bed with a short stepside bed on a 64 C-10?

    Thanks,

    OK is it possible ?

    YES

    Will it look goofy with the frame sticking out the back, or a gap between the bed and the cab?

    Yes.

    Are you willing to not have it look goofy by shortening the frame by removing the difference in wheelbase from the middle ?


    yes _

    no _

    Maybe _

    It is possible to do this but you have to cut a section a frame out and weld your frame back together. I met a guy in Witchita Falls TX who did this project and it came out great. I just don't think it is worth the hassle. Besides I think Long bed fleets look good.
