How to proberly Cut a Chassie to shorten/Lengthen

I have gotten a new idea for my Heavy Hauler Project. Im going to make it a car hauler just like fine69s truck. I know these where customs made trucks back in the day, going to make my own bed so i get how i want it.
thinking of extend the chassie behind the cab like 2 foot so i have a 10 foots bed.

the only real problem is its illeagle to do this kind of mod to the chassie really but what they dont know they dont complain about

so i would like to see pics of how its done proberly and it would have the same strength as the original chassie has

we are talking about a 1986 C30 Crew Cab dually
its an old Western hauler truck

going to remove the rear seating and put a wall behind the front seats and make the rear a complete work shop with every kind of Auto tool you could need at a race track or side of the road.

This is what i have in mind just a quick rendering not done yet

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
