the long and short of it?

[JBstor]

Hi all,

I am still a bit new here, but I have noticed a couple of threads referring to "true" shortbox trucks. Once I have my Blazer running again, I plan on going full tilt into a 67 or 68 short stepside.

Am I correct in assuming that there are short wheelbase trucks made from longs? I was wondering about this because it would seem to me that there would be a lot of work involved....shortening the frame, no?

Could someone explain the long and short of this?

Thanks!
JB
