Wow, that's a tough one... I can see why no one has responded.

You have a long bed 68 that you want to fix up by spring. And can get a short 67 but with no options. Now you come across a 71 that has all the goodies including the disc brakes, cruise?, ac, etc. But, you're partial to the short beds.

Assuming they're both in equal shape for fixing up, I would get the 71, even though it's a long bed. It has all the amenities that you want and are hard to find in a truck these days.

You can always take your time and look for a short bed later. The main thing is to get the loaded one now.
