I've wanted a 67-72 dumper for a long time myself. Nice find! I'm concerned about your swb mod though and I hope I'm wrong... If you took the full 18" out all in front of the wheel, the wheel placement will be too far forward. When I cut my lwb down, I remember it required 12 inches removed in front of the rear wheel and 8"? off the very end of the frame rails at the rear bumper.

If your never going to put a short box on it and leave it a flatbed, I guess you're good to go as is.

Looks great man. If we were neighbors I'd have been all over the dump bed you sold!
