71 C20 Cab swap to 78 C10 frame?

[71C28]

Yep Shes a Longhorn still has the badges too, I didn't know Longhorns are less common there's a few around where I'm at. I was thinking of maybe shortening the frame and putting a stepside bed on. But that seems like a shame to do to a desirable frame, and the bed is rough crunched on both corners but almost 0 rust.

Your extra long bed... it has a small section added to the front of the bed? That's a longhorn, somewhat low production run of trucks. If you end up using it for parts for a short bed truck, try to sell the bed instead of scrapping it (unless it is junk to begin with). Check out my longhorn website http://www.longhorntrucks.freeservers.com/ if you wanna know more about it.
