Sounds like you ~do~ care (grin).

I did one last spring, exactly as Tx Firefighter did (same cut, same weld, same fish plate and everything). I, too, happen to like short box trucks. They are also super scarce where I am. I had a long box. I also had a plasma cutter, and a welder, and I wasn't afraid to use either.

It wasn't hard to do at all. A bit time consuming, but care and attention-to-detail means less mistakes.

Good luck! And post pictures of the job!
