It works!! New Guy in OK...Many questions

Question 1...What is the best book on restoring-rebuilding 72 Chevys...

Question 2...Difficulty in cutting down a LWB to make a SWB? How exactly is that done...I have heard about cutting the frame under the cab, but there must be more to it than that..

Thanks
Clint

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! If you want to do some reading on 67-72 trucks (including how to shorten a lwb frame) go to the FAQ Submissions Page and click on the Index thread. It has links to all of our How-To articles.
