I know the build you are talking about. That guy lives a few miles from me and I would say that the reason he went with a short bed and moved the rear axle back is because that's what he had to work with. His Name is 62ChevyII and he is also a member here so look him up and ask questions. I like the way he cut 10 inches off the back and then swapped the two pieces around so he could still use the factor spring perch holes. I don't know about all the talk of ticketed welders and stuff. Here in Kansas I don't even need a safety inspection as long as its a Kansas titled vehicle all I have to do is show up to tag office and get it put in my name. I started with an extended cab S10 and cut it down 5 inches at the factory splice. I made all my own cab, bed and running board mounts. I'm no expert welder, but I did all my own welding, and I'm confident in my ability. I have lots of pics and videos on my build thread. Hope you find them useful.
