As a matter of fact, I did that with a 71 Blazer I bought that was in a very lite roll. Actually, it just went into a ditch and went on its side very lightly. I put a 72 cab and then cut the back 1/2 off the Blazer. i had a junk bed and took the front 6" and welded it to the front of what I cut off the Blazer. Actually, it was a really neat truck that made alot of heads turn. I was about 85% finished withit when I lost interest. It was driveable, but I never got the paint work done. I wanted to paint it white with flames and drop it about 3 inches from the ground. I finally, started to rob parts from it for other trucks when the guy that I was building it for, stiffed me on the deal. I ended up junking the bed, selling the frame to a board member, and using the cab on another truck. I gave the 307 to my brother (without even a thank you). It was 12" shorter than a shortbed. If I was to do another one, I would mold the bed to the cab and have an "El Camino" type truck. I think that would be a much cleaner look. It was fun to do it though. I may have a picture somewhere. If I can dig it out, Ill post it.
It can be done!
