67-72 c10 longbed to shortbed conversion. Coyote Customs cutdown frame video

how to properly cutdown your frame on 67-72 c10 .

[@MrNinja1100]

I wanna thank you so much! I'm now a long bed short bed owner.

[@davidandlaurablevins68]

I watched several videos before I cut my frame. And this one is by far the most accurate accurate and trouble free.

[@davidandlaurablevins68]

I've been watching C10 frame cut videos for days. And this is the best one I've seen by far. Thanks

[@Ricky-pi9kk]

Really like the idea of the Z-Cut on the frame....The Idea I had was Z-Cut the frame like you are on that one side then do a reverse Z-Cut on the opposite side...

[@KensGarage.]

customer called and said he changed his mind. He wants his long bed back haha :))

[@diduck6878]

It's funny. I'm a mechanic, you would be surprised. I have parted out and sold sooo many vehicles. Motor/Transmission jobs. I ask for half upfront. Call them when finished. They've spent their tax refund, and now can't pay. You spend the rest of the year trying to get a hold of them. 1/2 never come back.

[@yamahaxs6501]

Great video. I'm re-watching frame vids today and going to start cutting tomorrow. I'm gonna do the s-cut with a hole saw because of the stress factor of angles, but I think it's fine either way (I'm a welder and a CWI). I'm leaving the cab on, because I don't have a way to get the cab off, so wish me luck!

[@felixist7]

Like your directness n honesty du 😁👌🏼

[@matthewkantar5583]

Nice content. Enjoyed all the knowledge in the discussion, would have liked more footage of the work being done.

[@jameshatfield7785]

Really like how this guy does it smart

[@seeunow44]

Excellent work!!

[@jamesatchison2289]

By far the best way to cut down a frame! Save yourself $500 over buying the so called “kit” that uses bolts to hold a straight cut together!!! Get the future generation out in the shop and build a classic! Strong work!

[@StevesCarnivoreDiet]

I was really interested in watching the process. you sound like you know exactly what your doing. I made it a few minutes into your video and had to stop. please please clean your camera lens its impossible to watch through all the smudges. other than that it looks like you were on track for a great video sir.

[@gregraper2188]

lookin good man!!!

[@shawnwimberly9294]

Nice work!

[@harrytaylor6854]

well done great video

[@carlosgarza1962]

Great job

[@tonycotta6602]

Ever gave it some thought on moving everything forward a foot then cutting off at the rear of the truck have done it on a leaf spring set up and it worked out fine just moved the leaf spring purch forward redrill some of the holes but thee are some holes that line up on leaf spring set up .

Killin it

[@diversedad7954]

I’m going to be shortening my 65 any week now. Been trying to decide if I want to buy one of those kits that shows you where to drill all of your holes and cut or just do it this way. This video is awesome. I have a buddy down the road from me that is a fabricator for a living And also used to build race cars and he owes me a favor so I’m going to borrow his welding skills. I also just recently put a two post champion. Lift in my shop. Looks really similar to yours. I’m wondering what model that is that you have. I ended up getting a barely used TP-9HD locally from a shop that closed down. It’s a 9500 pound lift and should be more than enough for anything that I do out of my hobby shop but I do wish I could have got the 10 or 11,000 pound lift but he had already sold that one. really the only thing I don’t like about mine is I have to pull the safety lock tabs by hand on each post before putting it back down. The heavier version of my lift has release rod on the side by the pump. Thanks a lot for the video. This will help me immensely in the coming weeks. Also, trying to get my son off of games and digital devices. It doesn’t help that I have a suite loft, man cave in my shop with a huge Soundsystem TV and Xbox but I figure even if I can’t get my kid into helping me at least he can be in the shop with me.

[@jameswilkins288]

thanks very helpful do you know the overall length of each frame rail for a swb

[@rodleypumpkins4174]

I’m partial to the long beds. Idk I’m like the only one who prefers that to the shorts.

[@eddiegarcia5522]

I have a 1972 Chevy long bed goin to make it short bed in video u say 2 inches from mount to start marking the 12” can you be a little more specific 2 “ from what hole on mount ?

[@jameshatfield7785]

I like the long beds won't be many around. If every one keeps cutting them up

[@solmora6495]

Can i put a c chanel to reenforce a 82 c10 i wanted to make short bed and how thickness need to be i think is stronger than a fish plate?????

[@cemack]

Hey, just wondering what gage you use for your fish plate/ Diamond plate?

[@BlueMacGyver]

Why did you say to move the cab mounts 12 inches? the cab should remain in the same location right?

[@jessdigs]

Because you cut out the section in between the Two cab mounts which brings the back one 12 inches forward, so you have to move it 12” back to get it to line up. It’s better to remove length from the flat straight section under the cab

[@fearingforamerica921]

the easiest way to remove the bolts with nuts is tighten them. they will snap in two.

[@michaelnelson9140]

Did you shorten the front half of the driveshaft? Or can you buy one? I haven’t seen any in the classic truck parts companies. If you cut it, I would assume you take off 12 inches like the frame ?

[@coyotecustomshotrodsandmet9138]

I have my driveshafts professionally cut and rebalanced but drive shafts of Tulsa

[@sthrngemini]

are you closed? Still in Newman GA?

[@CKE142B]

Would an original shortbed drive shaft fit the cut truck?

[@jessdigs]

Yes

[@chrisjohnson2191]

Where r you located at ??

[@peterfraumeni5582]

When you get it cut down and rewelded you shouldn’t need the center support bearing, 1 piece driveshaft.

[@justoyzracing9193]

Why can't you do the straight, then weld in a 6 inch (L- brace) that secures the top and the side, then box that same 6 inch area?

[@coyotecustomshotrodsandmet9138]

Truck frames need to have some flex in them for the most part .it might make it to ridge and I would imagine creating stress points at different locations of the frame.

[@benjaminquinonez4388]

How much did you charge for a job Like that's

[@jameswilkins288]

how long should the frame be on 67 c10

[@coyotecustomshotrodsandmet9138]

[@gerardolopez5875]

Would’ve be easier to just move Trailing arms crossmenber towards front??? And cutt just the rear

[@JuanHernandez-td8qo]

Where is you location

[@shawnwimberly9294]

Can i bring you some 72 bedsides and have you cut them down and mend them up for me? at least one pair, possible 2 or 3 depending on price and turnaround time. i would be visiting from Dallas Texas.
