C20 Shortbed Conversion?

I was planning on converting my 1975 C20 into a shortbed. Has anyone ever done this? And are the cuts the same? 14 inches behind the cab and 6 inches off the back?

     There is a couple of threads on here where people have done the conversion.  I have seen 2 that I can think of right now, if done right there is more than 1 way to shorten the length of the bed.
     Here is one with lots of pics.
