longbed to a short bed????

I had posted before about the correct way to shorten the chassis of a longbed truck and make it into a shortbed.. After much advice I think it will be easier to swap over to another shortbed chassis I already have.
BUT as I cruise Craigslist I find this and think maybe this guy should have asked for advice FIRST......But just my personal opinion

Re: longbed to a short bed????

It's not conventional but in a way I think it's cool. I imagine a blown big block and ladder bars behind it tearing up the 1/4 mile. Please keep (or start to) keep this thread positive. Everyone has a vision.
