Am I dreaming or is this possible

As some of you might now, I picked up a factory 2wd K5 a couple of months back with no title. Tried to get one and failed miserably. I am in the process of dismantling it to move the frame into my garage. Although I really want to re-body it under a 4wd K5, I doubt I am going to find one in this part of the country for a decent price that does not have seriour rust issues. What I was thinking about doing is finding a donor 73-80 cab and put it on the Blazer frame using the back half of the Blazer body, to make a little kick ass short bed.

I know it will be some work but, a good learning experience. I can go to the pick and pull and cut of the front part of a bed and get to work.............the floor pans on that 77 have no rust @ all. Just a thought that I have been turning over. A 5 to 5 1/2 short bed wood look sick I think. Works out because I have enough spare parts for (1) 77-80 front clip with inside release.....................
