Questions for Building CCSB

[S_Stewart11]

Hey guys,

I have been wanting to buy/build a CCSB for years now. I just have some general questions for those who have done their own projects. I have searched high and low for one on Craigslist that is a 4x4 and already been converted to a short bed frame. I have not had much luck...

My first question would be if I purchase a long bed, how labor intensive is the short bed conversion process? I see the build threads all the time and try to study them, but unfortunately I have moved halfway across the country and don't have the shop anymore to build my own.

Is it possible that some shops would want to tackle a project like this? I am coming from a total rookie perspective and just looking for more help in my quest for obtaining my dream truck. Thank you in advance!
