They showed how to do that on a 60's something chevy on one of those truck shows about 2 mo's ago. Z'ed the frame and took out a section of the bed behind the wheel well I think. Welding a frame is OK if you Z it and look at the frame welding suggestions in a 55-59 sevice manual (not the assy manual). All in all it would be much better to buy a real one and sell yours. If you don't want a long bed, sell it to someone who does. Or if you like your cab, sell the frame and bed and get a short frame and bed with a rotted cab and switch.
