Lwb to swb

Has anyone cut a LWB down to a SWB? I saw them do it on Trucks to mid 60s model.

Re: Lwb to swb

I've got a 72 4x4 in my shop, that I am shortening. The chassis is pretty much finished. The frame was really easy to shorten. You should be able to find several that have been cut, if you search the forum.
