Shorten LB Frame or Frame Swap to SB frame?

I have two long bed trucks one a '67 Fleet GMC with Leaf springs and is solid as a rock. The second is a '70 LWB Chevy Custom with the normal rust areas and has a coil spring rear end. I also own a SWB frame from a '69 chevy stepper that came w/ No cab or front clip with a solid bed.

I have been watching the threads lately and it seems that every time someone is selling a shortened long bed they seem to get questioned about the work done (justifiably so) and I have noticed some concerns in regards to value of the shortened frame truck too.

SO my question is this, Would it be better for me to swap cab/front end swap of either of the trucks to the Short Frame or to slice the one of my choice? This is from a value and a time standpoint and from a view of a potntential buyer, should I sell it when done?

The obviouls other choice is that I could keep the long beds or sell them and buy a swb truck but I am trying to work with what I got.

She will be intended be a weekend driver but as with most everything eventually it comes time to sell. Just sitting here thinking about my options.

Thanks
