there is a lot of good info out there on how to shorten them properly. find yourself a 73-87 !/2 t donor truck and put in the frt front end inc c/member and rear axle, you can convert to 5 lug then. if you can find a 71-72 they have 5 lug, but are getting a little more difficult to obtain for parting out. once in a while a short frame pops up, but I doubt many know where AVA is
you can get some of your upgrade brackets from captain fab here on the forum
