Default Lwb to swb

I listed my S10 on craigslist for trade for a rc, a guy offered my a clean 04 rclb with a 5.3 140k miles. Has anyone on here cut one of these trucks down to make a swb? I helped a buddy of mine do a '71 last year and I'm fairly handy with a plasma and a welder, just curious if anyone here has tackled it on one of these newer body trucks.

Pretty sure the axel has to come forward a few inches for that conversion. It has been done before though.
