BROTHERS is proud to announce the release of our highly anticipated 1973-87 Long bed to Short bed Conversion Kit. Just like our 63-72 version, this kit will take all the confusion out of this conversion and will provide you with all the necessary provisions to complete this popular conversion. The kit includes a laser-etched steel template, a high strength steel inner "C" channel brace, a new short bed front-to-rear brake line, new short bed parking brake cables, and all necessary hardware to install the kit, along with highly detailed instructions. By purchasing this conversion kit, you will have everything needed to shorten your long bed frame with basic hand tools in your own garage. Does requires welding to finish the conversion but with our steel inner braces, you will be able to safely transport the vehicle to a certified welder if needed. A short bed gas tank is required. The driveshaft will also have to be shortened before re-installation. Note: For 3/4 ton truck owners you will need to check your trucks GVW or GVWR on the door jamb tag. If your tag shows a GVW or GVWR of 8200 or more, DO NOT PROCEED. This kit WILL NOT work on your truck.
