All I can say is measure twice and cut once to prevent screw ups! The builder of this should have had a rendering made first. Probably would have just done a normal SWB if he had seen what it would actually look like before going crazy with the cutoff wheel. Someone out there will fall in love with it though....

I did cut down my LWB to a SWB, however this doesn't look right.

This thing has been everywhere on Craigs, kinda like a disease nobody can get rid of.

I would need to see the frame on that truck, but I suspect that truck started life as a flight line support truck at an airport or the US Air Force. It sports the same length wheel base as the trucks I saw that had a max speed of 20 -25 mph with governed engines used to tow equipment around near aircraft.
I have seen those trucks made from Jeeps, Chevy and ford trucks and even older Dodge trucks with the Cummins turbo diesels.
If someone obtained one of those units and converted it to a street legal truck, that frame might not be butchered and might actually be "original".

Interesting truck here and not my taste, but someone surely was creative.

Cool theory... but from the ad:

Shorty started out as a 1971 Chevy C10 Long Bed work truck with the standard wheel base of 127".

Re: I didn't do it! SHORTY
 
So if short wheel bases are worth more than long wheel bases, does that mean shorter wheel bases are worth more than short wheel bases? Wait, who's on first...

It'd be good for haulin' sheets of plywood.... if you cut 'em in half

I guess short beds are considered long beds now haha

A mini topper on the back would look awesome!

I'm not passing judgement on the quality of the work, which looks to be just fine, but...

To me it looks like a short bed backed into a wall going really fast.

The proportions look just about right to put front fenders, hood and grill with headlights on the back. people wouldn't know if you were comming or going..

What he really has for sale is a cab, front end, axles, and a tired motor and transmission. Unless you are that 1 guy who digs it. Kinda like that shortened VW bus that the goofballs on Fast & Loud put a ton of money into. "They say there's a sass for every seat". Keep looking. Somebody will love it. not me.
No offense meant. JMO:waah:

At least when his buddies started calling him "STUBBY", he would think it was because of his truck.:lol:

That would make an awesome Zamboni!

Re: I didn't do it! SHORTY
 
Why do people do that? practice I hope. I'm sure the truck could have been traded for a honda crx!
