How to shorten 51 short bed 10"

Trying to figure how to install rolling chassis and driveline from C6 corvette into my 51. Question today (know I'll have more for all you guys in the collective old truck hive mind and may be a long time before I have any wisdom to add, respond with) is:
how would you guys shorten wheel base by 10"?

Talking to local drive shaft specialists said "no touchee" that torque tube, so my initial plan to extend tube/shaft won't work.
Someone on these boards gave me a link to Speedhunter example of possibility on my build. Not a lot of details but when I went back to look at the truck I could tell they cut the 10" out of bed in front of rear fender. Don't really mind the compact look.
