Been there and done that to my 54.
It is not that hard to accomplish. Just need to make sure you brace the cab well front to back and side to side before you make the cuts.

There are lots of spot welds to be removed which is not hard if you have the right tool. I used a bit that drilled out the weld instead of cutting out around it.

If you have the grinder, drill and mig already then you are good to go.

Here are some pics of how I did those areas
