Put on a pot of coffee...http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php/topic,7175.0.html  is a beautiful build by one of the most talented guys on here.  Can't tell you what actual page the conversion starts but it is in there.  Enjoy

Thanks for the kind words Zieg

The thread is here: http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=7334.0

You need to remove a 14" section behind the cab and knock 6" off of the back of the frame.

If you want to see how to cut the actual bed down from LWB to SWB look here:
http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php/topic,26656.0.html

This is also out of the main page for cutting the frame:
