Short bed conversion

I never thought much about qa1, supposed to be pretty decent if you listen to any of the magazines or tv shows. I'll let everyone know. I'm undecided bewteen single or double adjustables.

Looks familiar. I may have to cut that entire brace out. Once I get the c-notch kit tacked in place, I'll know if I can just clearance for the pumpkin, or if I have to take the whole brace off.

Short bed conversion

Not permanent. Had to figure out ride height, and it just happens to be very convenient that axle on frame is the perfect ride height. No its time to finish my 3 link, then I'll put some cross members in and measure for qa1 coilovers. I went the lazy way and ordered a c-notch kit instead of...

I have shortened the frame, and have loose fit the bed. The picture shows current ride height.

I bought this for $750 with the goal of making a fun street truck. I am building a turbo bbc, I'm going to put in a T56 magnum, I'm building a full heim joint 3-link rear suspension, and will use qa1 coilovers all around. I am swapping to 5x4.75 and want to run 315-35r20's all the way around.

The c10 frame is different from the obs frame. Everyone shows c10 frame shortening, and nbs/nnbs, but very little obs is out there. No one shows the front leaf mount/hanger on an obs

please don’t do what the guy in that video does. Omg, that’s some serious hackery. Don’t get me wrong, I use my plasma for more than I should, but, those gaps he filled with weld are atrocious. I still can’t find anyone that shows the proper process online. All I find are nbs or c10.

New guy here, hello everybody! For whatever reason I've never bought an obs, even though I think its one of the best looking trucks made. I just bought my first one, a 1994 single cab long bed. Is there an acronym for that, sclb? I paid the ridiculously high price of $750 for this thing...
