Good evening !
I am taking a 71 c/10 LWB and making it into a SWB. I am going for a custom shortbed... honestly it will end up looking like a Blazer .

I made the first front Bed cuts today. 14" out of the front and 10" out of the rear, and yes I do have plans to make all of the rear bed lines match up.

Once the Bed is all cut and welded back together then I will take the bed off and cut down the frame 14" and move the crossmember forward and connect the suspention.

Only thing left to do after that is get a custom driveline !

am I CRAZY ???????? We'll see ?
