1969 wheel base and bed lengths?? Pic of my rig.

What are the wheel base lengths?? Can a short bed fit either wheel base?? I think my truck has a long bed but would like to swap to a short bed if possible. Here's a pic of my rig. Currently being restored but running.

You can chop it down to fit a short bed on there. Long bed looks ok on it. ;) Lots of info & pics about long to short on here. How about some more pics.

I think that looks great as it sits

SWB = 115"
LWB = 127" To properly cut down a long bed to a short bed box you remove 12" from the front and 8" from the rear. So with what you're asking, if you threw a shortbed on your truck right now it would look like this (pic borrowed from hewittca's build thread): https://c7.staticflickr.com/6/5714/3...391f3bce_b.jpg I'm in the middle of cutting one down. My truck is already a shortbed, but I wanted an OEM bed and this longbed from AZ was damn near perfect. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1491110345 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1491190942 |

Thanks all for the replies. Every bit helps for sure. So it seems that I might just have a LWB and that a short box will not fit. In dont wanna cut up a long box to fit. Seems like I would have to shorten the frame too for the short box. If I can use a short box on my LWB w/o cutting anything I would but looks like ill be keeping the long box and that's totally fine with me.
