Hi Fellows, welcome to the chapter! Sounds like a sweet pair of trucks! Just curious why you want to switch from longbox to shortbox?
personal preferance i geuss i have always loved the look of a reg cab short box , i like the sporty look to them i used to have an 82 short box that i put a cleveland in loved that truck . but yeah i have a soft spot for them haha

Welcome to the chapter.
Shortboxes do look nice but I'd miss the extra space. Are you thinking of a stepside? They are not that common in the 73-79 era and would stand out.

a stepside was another option i had but if i do go that route i would like to get the 80's version i think the lines of it look alot nicer then the older one. but agian another personal preferance , and the space is nice on the long box but this thing wont be hauling much anymore goin for more of a show truck weekend cruiser
