I'm assuming most of you guys have either read about the conversion, or done it yourself, is why I skipped over all the details such as where I cut, and what I measured from.
Best I can tell, most measure from rear stake, and move forward @ 8-9" (seems 8 3/4" is pretty popular measurement. Then measure 8" from that spot forward, accounting for cutoff wheel thickness.

My next step is cutting out the 12" in front of the rear wheels, BUT I do have a small dilemma.
Im thinking of doing a backhalf on the truck, but not sure just yet. Obviously just whacking 12" out of the frame (under the cab), is the easy way to go about it, but I have never been accused of doing things the easy way, or logical way.
So, it's POSSIBLE I just whack the 12" out of the stock frame, and then build a backhalf for it at a later date.

Either way, the 12" part will come up in the next couple/few weeks, as the truck unexpectedly became my daily driver.

I've got a '03 Dodge Cummins 1 ton dually, that I have converted from 2WD to 4WD, and from stick to auto, so my daily driver became my '01 Suburban. Well, my wife's 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee dropped a valve few days ago, so she is driving the Suburban, and Im driving the '72.
Once I get my wife in another vehicle (or I finish the conversion on my '03 Cummins), then I can finish the 12" portion of this modification.
