I have started stripping the dakota down and thinking ahead about shortening the frame. I need to shorten the frame 16 inches, give or take once I get precise measurements, which will have the bed mount hitting the crossmember, The chalk lines on the frame are close to what I need to cut out to make the wheels fit under the 57 body right. Do I just grind them off and reposition them? That seems like the thing to do in my head but I want to see what you guys have done or if this has ever been an issue. I know the cab mounts have to be fab'd so that isn't my concern really. There will be more of these to come I am sure and don't mind the boxed drawing I was thinking about ways to cut and weld the frame.
