Lwb to swb, taking a different route

[rideharder]

Half way through my build and I've decided I'll buy a truck to haul my 4x4 and use my 67 as a dd/weekend warrior.
My delema is my frames all powder coated and the cab/front is all together..
Can I cut 20" off the back and redo my trailing arms/dshaft? Any issue to clearance or fit? I know things will have to be moved but asking as the short fleet will still fit on the unsectioned lwb frame I'm calling it a done deal...
And I know that the trailing arms being shortened (making mine from heavy wall tubing) will place my airbag/coils inside the frame and that axle pert he's will have to be moved.. That's no big deal
Just hoping that the short box will still fit on the front of a unsectioned long box frame

The problem i see is the frame goes up and in over the rearend moving the wheel well and diff forward of that may cause clearence problems with lowering it and with wheel fit. another thought 20 inchs off the back may reqire custom bumper brackets or just put a rollpan on

Here's a link for doing the lwb to swb swap it gives very good info on how to do it as well as keeping the integrity of the frame. I hope this helps in your build. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=123624

Ya roll pan and I'm fully comfortable notching if I have a clearance issue.
I wonder why no one has done this before?
