To cut or to wait?

[BigSlim]

I have been looking for a 67-68 swb 2wd for a couple months, and believe it or not, they are kind of hard to find. Should i hold out till i find what i want, or cut down a lwb. I dont think if i wait i will find a swb bed in excellent shape, so would all aftermarket bed metal and a shortened frame be a viable option? Either way i intend to modify the rear suspension. Has anyone on the Forums done this before?, I know it has been done but, i would appreciate any input/opinions.
