Should I cut this truck ?

[Chevyland]

..?

[Chevyland]

And make it look like this

?......

[YBNORML]

I would, but then again I’m biased.

[YBNORML]

This is what I started with

[BRL]

In a word...no.

JMO.

[57taskforce]

No... but that’s just me. I think as it sits it’s a beautiful truck.

[flashed]

I have a similar 72 truck that is 100% rustfree Highlander that has a wrecked frame on the passenger front , Black too that I have thought about cutting but cant do it . Yours I definitely would not cut , its a Beauty as is .

[Fbks_Cruiser]

Too nice to cut...

[Sevens]

I wouldn't cut it!

[GJB]

NOOOOOOO! But how about some more pictures?!

[leddzepp]

Cut it

[KQQL IT]

Cut it.
Who's ever stretched one?

[Nima]

No,

[gmc684x4]

Unless there is frame damage i will say no too clean a truck to cut down

[Richard]

Going to keep it? It is yours, make it what you want. If selling is probable in future leave it alone. Then again if you are doing most of the work yourself. You may come out okay depending on how much you value your time.

[Already Gone]

Please, no, no, no and never. A Black Cheyenne Super BB and I suppose has A/C and more goodies, oh my please don't..

[67swb72klb]

Remember this
It won't ride as good if you cut it...

[68bowtie]

Hm. That doesn’t seem like your m.o. And no, most definitely no.

[RustyPile]

No way would I vote (or elect) to cut one of these trucks.. If it's a short bed you want, sell it and use the money to buy a short bed... Unless your truck is a pos wrapped in silk, it would bring good money over here in Texas..

[72 tigger]

I like original, but it’s yours Eric and you live in Chevyland, so do whatever you like

[yuccales]

Great looking truck! How about the mandatory SPID picture? As for hacking it down, Sawzall blades are cheap!

[72 Super]

No.

[lolife99]

I’d frame swap that thing in a second.
But I’d build a new short fleet side bed for it from reproduction sheetmetal.

[KLASS6]

Keep long bed long

[special-K]

I'm not opposed to cutting down longbeds to short beds, using whatever method. But I would not cut THAT truck down. There are plenty of non-descript nothing special longbed trucks out there and any part you need to make it appear as a Cheyenne Super. It wouldn't matter that the truck wasn't a factory Cheyenne Super since it's already not a factory shortbed. Might as well add a 402 while your at it. Right now that truck has a value as a factory Cheyenne Super longbed. There are plenty of truck enthusiasts with minds opened to longbeds who will always appreciate the trucks for what they were from the factory... even basic non-descript ones. But there were far more of those built and they have a lower sale value.

That picture shows a fine example of a great looking black with parchment interior Cheyenne Super. That other picture shows yet another dime a dozen chopped and slammed big wheel shortbed. Dare to be different by doing nothing. Simple and right
