Thanks for the link to the 69 build. I know that the wheelbases are different, but shortening a frame is an uncommonly simple task. Alot of people (including me at first) think it voodoo to cut a stock frame, and alter the wheelbase, but it's an extremely easy procedure. I still think it would be easier to shorten a frame, move all 4 cab mounts, and move the core support mounts than it would be to remake this decayed unit that's under this truck now. I'm also not a huge fan of the ladder bar suspension.
