A few questions about shortning a frame..

[glock35ipsc]

Since the 68 got hit, and I am removing the entire front clip and removing both doors for replacement, I am going to do the short bed conversion while I am fixing everything else. I have a good handle on how to do the bed, but have a couple of questions on the frame.

1] Do the SWB 2wd trucks use a one or two piece driveshaft?

2] If it is a one piece, what happens with the crossmember that the carrier bearing now bolts to on my two piece driveshaft?

3] There is a set of "perches" on top of the frame that the bed sits on, but does not bolt to. They are directly behind the cab. Are those removed and discarded?

That is all I can think of right now. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get deeper into this new endevor.

Thanks!! Bob
