MONTE PHONIX Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Does any one have any advice or tips to convert a standard bed (6ft) to a long bed (8ft). Surely someone has done it or attempted. I been looking and haven’t seen anything. What I’m working with is a 2001 Silverado 1500 z71 extended cab standard bed. Any help is appreciated. Please and Thank you.

CamGTP Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 What are you going to do about the difference in frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakenfake Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Cut frame, weld in new frame extension, new driveshaft, probably extend wires and brake lines Boom Edited June 8, 2022 by shakenfake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsr611 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Easiest way...sell your current truck and buy a LWB truck Like shakenfake said, you'd have to cut the frame, weld in new frame extenders, new driveshaft, longer brake lines, electrical wiring, fuel lines, new bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
