For those of us Ford fans, it seems to be getting harder and harder to find a good foundation on which to build a shortbed truck. Whether it’s a matter of production numbers or survivability, it seems that the longbed Fords far outnumber the shorties. That’s great if you need to haul a load of lumber, a motorcycle, or a camper shell, but if it’s a well-performing, healthy-handling pickup truck you’re after, an old longbed probably isn’t going to cut it. That is unless cutting it is the plan.
Always looking for the next great gap to fill in the market, the team at Golden Star Classic Auto Parts recently announced the release of their newly tooled short Styleside bedsides for ’67-72 Ford pickups. This, in addition to also offering the front header panel, steel floor, wheelhouses, and tailgate, allows Golden Star to offer not only the components needed to repair or restore a classic Ford pickup, but also gives their customers the option to ditch the longbed setup for a brand-new shortbed box.
No small feat, however, when the crew at Classic Performance Products (CPP) heard about the new sheetmetal being offered, it seemed obvious that they needed to design a longbed to shortbed conversion kit to complement the new tin offerings. Thankfully, CPP has a few workhorse trucks on hand to aid in their daily R&D of new products, so the team wasted no time in getting a donor ’69 Ford F-100 in the shop and the frame section scanned.
The result is a new shortbed conversion kit (PN 6772LBFSK) that consists of two templates that contain all the holes that need to be located and drilled as well as cut lines to aid in trimming that chassis down. An assortment of hardware and a pair of beefy C-channel plates are provided and used to mate the two frame sections back together to ensure perfect symmetry before the chassis is welded back together. The resulting kit makes trimming a longbed ’67-72 Ford truck down to shortbed specs an afternoon’s work with little more than a drill, saw, and a welder.
This month, follow along as we adjust the wheelbase on a ’69 Ford F-100 using CPP’s new shortbed conversion kit and be sure to check in next month when we assemble an all-new short box courtesy of Golden Star Classic Auto Parts.
Classic Performance Products new long bed to short frame shortening kit is now available for 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 Ford F-100 and and F-250 pickups. Golden Star Classic Auto Parts has complete sheetmetal for styleside beds including tailgates, shortbed sides, floor, wheelhouse, front panel, and bed floor.
