Where you cut them, if you wanted, how easy would it have been to shorten the wheel base?
Love your shop too! 
Edit: Sorry, we posted at a similar time. I see your mounts.  Second question still stands. |
It would be easy to shorten the stock frame. Mine was complicated because of the years I joined together. Normally I would butt the frames together, and gusset them for strength. Like I shortened this S-10 frame to put under a 47 Studebaker Truck. This is a picture before I made the gussets that would sandwich the butt welds. You can make a long bed into a short bed this way. Cut behind the cab though. Make sure your wheels are positioned in the center of the bed wheel wells when you measure.
