that is what I was thinking....cutting it under the cab will just shorten where the cab sits, I dunno how you would ever get +/-12 inches out of the frame under the cab. I think you are going to have to cut behind the cab and work with the angle, graft on a short bed frame from the cab back, or extend a extra-cab short bed frame.....

but I haven't paid attention to how the long bed frames are. Could you move the front spring hangers forward and shorten the frame under the middle of the bed then just move the rear spring hangers back?

a lot of it will depend on where the bed bolts are on the short bed in relation to the long bed.
