Like everyone else said, nice work.

I was talking to some one today about that very same question. I started a thread HERE to try and find a pic of the rear portion of a SWB leaf spring truck. I figure one of the GMC SWB guys will chime in.

I forgot to mention...that is some FINE work you have done there. I hear about ppl making LWB frames into SWB frames, and it makes me shudder. I've seen the results of crappy work, and I have to say, if they were to follow this thread, and learn to weld as good as what your welding apears to be, then there shouldn't have any problems.
Awsome job.
