I'm hoping to convert my '55 Chevy Pickup Truck longbox stepside, to a shortbox. Im thinking that I can can slide the fenders back about three inches and cut the rest out of the front. Has anyone ever done this? posted: January 31, 2008       Answers (2)   okladad2004      The process is a little more complicated than that,but the fenders are the same length. posted:  February 23, 2008   19cvy57man      The distance between the cab an the front of the rear wheel well opening is what determins a long box from a short box.

Good luck if you decide to take on project of that magnitude. sources: Years of experiance posted:  February 29, 2008
