shortened frame decrease truck value

[sbc10guy]

I am looking into a truck i found on craigslist, the guy says it a shortbed with a "professionally shortened frame". I don't know what it looks like yet but do you guys think it would decrease the value of the truck, or steer people away if i was to part it out later and try to sell the frame. The truck also has no title, i was mainly thinking of it for parts, and it is parts price. Also the title is for the cab? or the frame?. It has a very nice cab and i would hate to see it unusable. Thanks
