LWB 2wd frames are a dime a dozen, nobody on this planet is going to trade you for a SWB frame. Cut it and build what you want, one old pickup truck isn't an investment, it's a toy. Any SWB frame you come across will most likely be damaged...otherwise it would still be under a truck, keep that in mind if you decide to swap. For the bed I would just buy an aftermarket kit.
