I recently did the same to a 68 lwb, it ends up being 12 inches shorter directly under the cab. You also remove 8 inches from the very rear of the frame. The only other thing you do is relocate a cab mount. Get yourself the factory assembly manual and it will have all the dimensions for all the frames. I ended up finding a short bed truck so any one needing a rust free frame can have it.
