Frame is 12 inches shorter. The difference is just in front of the rear suspension control arm mount cross member. Suspension components are the same, short or long wheelbase.

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
My question is this; as I am new to the 67-72 Chevy/GMC truck I don't want to cut up something that might be valuable. I am buying a 71 long bed step side, is this something that should be left alone or are there many of these trucks around so it won't matter?

A couple of key strokes later and the number is 7269. Not very rare at all. Although there were 206313 fleetside made. Thanks for the help.

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
7269 built 45 years ago. Probably 75% used, abused and junked. It's rarer than you think...
But I'd still rather have a short stepper... Rg |

Re: Longbed to shortbed conversion
Used to, seemed like the long-steps were pretty much limited to county and state road dept. trucks and such in our area. We have still a few in the area that are the 73-87 body style, but I remember 60-66 and 67-72 as well . I guess it depended on the preference of the truck purchaser. A long bed step held more gravel and dirt than a short, and was easier to clean out when the day was done than a fleet side, at least according to a friend of mine who retired from the state road dept. I'm not a big fan of the look either.
