I personally have not shortened a truck but I would never do it the way shown in your link. A straight cut to me seems not quite as strong as a "Z" type cut would be and then plating the inside of the frame for extra support.

Cutting the bed own is a lot easier unless you are not handy with a welder. Easy to burn through sheet metal but this is not really a beginner fab job.
