If you don't want to cut it, do what I did...swap it. I bought a 72 SWB rolling chassis and a clean original paint SWB fleetside bed and "converted" my truck to what you see in my avatar.

It cost LESS for those 2 things than it would have cost to replace the suspension and brake components on the original truck itself (72 3/4 ton).
