When I got my GMC it came equipped with the original longbed.

even more yeah

I like the look of the shortbed version, but don’t want to heavily modify this gem of a truck. When I saw this truck on the street, it convinced me that I don’t need to cut it in order to make it clean. For now my plan is to lower it and keep it as original as I can.

2. Your truck is beautiful truck as is. My'63 was originally a long bed step side with the big back glass. I decided to cut the frame and bed down to make it a short bed.It was a lot of work and cutting a fleetside bed and welding it back together looks like it would be even harder. It turned out great though and I drove it like that for about 1 1/2 years before finding a near mint condition fleet side bed on eBay so I installed it and sold my shortened step side bed for the exact amount I paid for the fleet side bed on eBay as well. Long bed fleet sides much better than long step side beds though and had mine not been a long, step side I may not have ever shortened it but I'm glad I did it. You have a sharp truck as is though. I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to cut on it.
