To cut or not to cut ....

[gjones138]

I will be starting a frame-off restoration next week on a 69 lwb. I got an awesome deal on the rig, so I could not pass it up. This is my first truck project (have done dozens of cars), so I will just be doing a 4/6 static drop and replacing almost everything I touch. I love the look of a SWB, but do not mind the LWB look either. My question is, should I shorten the frame or leave it as is? Has anyone done this and regreted the decision or wish they did something else? I have looked for a Swb frame in the Dallas area, but can only find frames with rusted out cabs, frames that are not straight or just plain junk.

Any advice and insight is appreciated.
