Joey~ap is going to do a 456 k5 conversion.
I pm'ed him and let him know that I had seen one like that in a wrecking yard.

I stumbled on it when I was looking for a good bedside, this one was already off, I picked it up, and then noticed the welds on the inside, I looked at it again, and then held it up next to the short fleet next to it... and haaay this thing was REAL short!!
I commented about it to kelly, and he said a guy spent an afternoon pulling the bedside off, before he realized that it was a "shortened" fleet...

Anyway, cool idea Joey~ap, I hope you get farther than these guys did (btw- you can't really tell but this is sitting on a 75 k5 4wd chassis)
also a drawing and a photoshop to fuel the fire!
