I've got the issue. They shorten the frame then throw on new bedsides. They also have a tech article on replacing some sheet metal on a 67. This truck was rough!

Although I think it's very difficult to pull off, it has been done. I'm not sure if this guy is a member here, but this is what I think of when you talk about converting a LWB to shortie.
