I’m running a 94 KW T800 that is wayyyyy too stretched out, things is a nightmare in tight quarters which is 90% of what I run. I’m guessing it served a purpose in a past life but it’s just a pain now. Considering getting her shortened up since it’s a great truck otherwise despite its age. Anybody here know a reputable frame shop that does this sort of thing in around the Toledo, OH general area? I’d want it done the right way, drilling new holes and moving the axles forward and getting a different drive shaft then cutting off the excess.
Any ideas?
NW Ohio, SE Michigan frame shops?

Shortening a frame is simple and almost any shop can complete this. Whiteford KW in Perrysburg used to be good. XPRESS auto and truck out at Swanton Ohio used to to be good to. Dans truck and equipment Perrysburg Ohio. Toledo spring, might. Or they could recommend someone. Most any truck shop can shorten them simply.

Central ave. Truck parts in Sylvania has a body shop now. Not sure if they’ll shorten a frame. I was in their Shop once, they were changing a whole frame out on a newer Truck. I think they owned the Truck though. Worth a shot.
Cdubb Thanks this.
