If that is a picture of your truck, and its as clean as it looks I would not convert it. I'm not in the least bit opposed to cutting up a truck, but that looks to be a really clean original truck. Unless there are sentimental reasons, you would be much better off selling that one and buying the SWB you really want.

With that said, if your set on cutting your down use the z cut as mentioned. Bedsides can be cut and welded, but if you have to ask my guess is you dont have the ability to cut and weld sheet metal that thin with out warping it.
