Howdie all new member here!
gotta question for ya or just to see what people think. i have a 72 LB truck wanna make it to a short bed. i found a 2wd short bed truck, now it seems easier to just chop my frame on the long bed an slap the short bed on, which i think will be easier cuz the 2wd has been wrecked and i would have to change my cab over and all and pretty much do everything to it, So now i know it has been done, how much and where do do i chop the frame at and whats the best way to strengthen it, i'm a fabulous welder so thats no prob just dont know the measurments and wanna know what people have to say!!

thanks all
