Swb trailing arm question

[kaotics]

Where about is the trailing arm crossmember located as far as what I'm reading so far it is 12 inchs further ahead then a long box,
I'm cutting my 68 gmc up alot right now and want this frame to be good to drive around for next summer but wanna cut it down to a shortbox over winter

anyone have any pictures of a short box bagged trailing arm setup??

12" out of the middle of the frame & 8" off the end of the frame converts a lwb to a swb. This confirms your 12" difference between the two.

That kinda sucks that basically puts the mount under the cab then with the body drop be some extra cutting but oh well never seen a swb frame was hoping for short trailing arms haha
