Tommy,
Here's the best way I can figure how to do it where it would look 1/2 decent... You still have the issue with the wheelarch being "incorrect". With all of the labor involved, you would probably be better off selling your bed and buying a decent SWB...

Anyway, remove the wheelarch from behind the wheel to the front of the bed and up to the top in the area that the front bedwall(bulkhead) bolts in. Shorten upper section of bedrail to SWB length. Take wheelarch and position so that the wheelbase is correct and mark the bedside. Cut out the area you marked and weld in the wheel arch. Weld in front area of bedside where bulkhead bolts in. Make patch for behind wheel arch to bumper area. Now you still have to shorten the inside of the bedside and the bedfloor...

That's what I come up with...
