Aight... im completly new to this site and this thread, great job on the truck by the way. i have a 72 lwb fleetside and i was browsing the internet, looking for any lwb to swb conversions, and then BAM i found you! i have a question when it comes to shorting the bed itself: there is a body line that is just below the top rail of the bed. this line runs down towards the rear of the truck. (in other words its not parallel with the top of the bed.) it seems to me if you cut and remove a total of 20" from the bed, that this body line would no longer line up. is this so? and what do ya do about it?
