    To be quite honest, since you are planning this much work already, sell the long bed and buy a short bed. It's a bit of a waste(in my opinion) to shorten a longbed when there are so man shortbeds in that model. When it comes to 80's and older, shortening them is a little more practical. I just don't see it practical when there are thousands upon thousands of 88-98 short bed trucks running around. Not to mention you could probably sell the V8 longbed and get enough money to buy a shortbed V6 and do the swap and not be out near as much money and work. Either way you go, it should be a pretty cool project
    2005 black Yukon XL SLT - traded in for me wife's new Fusion (GM sucks these days)
    2002 black Yukon SLT (the skinny sister)
    1969 green Pontiac GTO (Layla, AKA the black sheep)

    I'd look for a truck that's already what you want. It would be much easier and cheaper. Then you'd be starting with what you really want and could use your money and effort to make your project even better.
