I have a frame question.

This past weekend I met a man who was checking out my 71 lwb at the parts house. I approached the man and was asked if i would be interested in converting from long to short frame, he said he had a 72 swb rolling chasis that he would let go for a couple hundred bucks. After a short conversation i followed the man to the location of the frame. When i arrived i noticed there was a long frame stacked on top of the short one, he said it was also a 72 that he wanted gone as well. The short chasis looked perfect and even had a couple of custom rims on the steer end, 5 bolt lug pattern , 12 bolt rear, even has the steer gear box. I did not have a straight edge to put along the frame but eyeballing it , it seemed perfect. Would this be a good deal for 200 dollars, or could i possibly get hurt on this deal? Money is very tight right now for me. Thanks, Shawn
