Stepside: Longbed to shortbed... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '71 longbed that I love, but I have to admit, IMOH it would look better as a shortbed. What exactly would be involved to do this? Could I take off the bed, remove the front panel, cut off a certain(how much?) amount off the front of the bed and then remove and box the frame(specific area?) the same amount, driveshaft same amount, fuel/brake-lines and have this accomplished? Or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks
