making a short bed out of long bed?

Hey guys I found me a 69 chev truck but it's a long bed but it was a hot price and couldn't pass it up. I'm planning on shortening it up to a SWB. i think it will be cool and C notch it while I'm at it. I think it will be shocker to find out it was an old work truck once it's done. Has anyone ever shortened one down?

Re: making a short bed out of long bed?

I'm excited to get it going. I have read and studied early classic enterprizes website on shorteneing one and it looks time consuming but not to difficult. Most is getiing the angles and dimensions cut right. It will be cool to take a short bed to the car shows and the fenders and chrome package is all marked camper special. People will either think I changed the fender markings or they didn't know chev made a camper special short box. Shortening a longbed is almost unheard of around here. It will be fun. I'm excited!

I will post picts I'm taking it to the shop end of the month. I'm pulling the bed this week. At the shop there is a truck on the rack finishing up air ride so as soon as it gets out it's my turn.
