My new 1967 backwoods swb project - opinions??

[oldchev68]

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I've been on the board, but I've finally got another truck to work on. I found a 67 SWB project that I'm looking to get back on the road. It's a a factory LWB that looks to have been cut down many years ago. I've never had a shortbed, so I'm hoping this one works out.

It looks like a backwoods shortening and lowering job, so I'm looking for your opinions. It doesn't appear to have been cut down like others I've seen here, and the trailing arms have been shortened. I like the height that this is at, but I don't know exactly how they got it there. I'm assuming the springs were cut or heated or something. I would like to redo all of the suspension correctly with drop spindles and lowering springs, but I want to know what you guys think of what I'm starting with before I get too excited.

What are the potential issues with what you guys see here? Thanks for looking and I look forward to your opinions!
