2007 Silverado 6.6 Single Cab
 
Hello guys i have a question....

There is a single cab long bed close to me it has a 6.6 duramax now i may seem crazy but im not just have crazy ideas

i have never seen a 2500 new body style short bed i was thinking of making my own...
cut frame, and everything else needed will be done by me im a gm technician by day, also my boss says its fine to keep it in the shop as long as i dont hold up lifts for a long time

so question is how hard/fabrication do you think i need to do?? i dont trust my welding so ill probably hire out in that area

please give me your opinions or links if anybody has tried it thanks!!1

They made short bed 2500's until this year, I believe. My cousin has an '08 2500 ccsb. When I was looking for a new truck last year they still made them too. It's just this year they stopped, and I'd be willing to bet you could still have a dealer order you one if you wanted.

There is a body shop near me that does rebuilds on wrecks..The owner built his son just this truck, it is a 4wd. It started out as a Long bed, just rear clipped it. HE said it was very easy to do but then again, they do alot of custom stuff. I wish I had pics, it is one bad ass truck!
