he wanted a shortbox 3/4 ton diesel and GM does not make such a thing.
If you're talking about standard cab pickups, I don't know if I've seen a
short box 3/4 ton of any make. I know that there are plenty of 3/4 ton Ford
and Dodge diesels out there in club cab and crew cab configurations.

If you get a short box, you get a long cab. They don't put
a short cab and a short box together, not that I've seen.
The wheelbase may be too short for stability or something.

Update. I went over to see they guy this morning and he put it up on the
rack for me. He had driven the car and looked things over, noticing a
number of fuel and vacuum irregularities, but heard the creaking and
addressed none of them. He will not do work on a car with a cracked frame
rail.
I suspect it would have to be on the high side of $1000 for me
to flinch too much.
If it's just cracked metal that isn't all rusty, the welding
should be fairly straightforward if it can be reached easily.
Try not to mention your top price to the guy when getting a
quote!
