GreggE,
I will go out and re-measure the end of the bed/frame to see if I could fit it in my garage with that simple section cut down.
I did measure my garage door header height at ~82 inches and that includes clearing the lever for the garage door opener.
My truck with 7.50-20 front tires (and letting out a bit of air pressure) has a measured cab top of max ~78"-79" so I am pretty confident I could get the cab clearance OK.
I also crept around the floor and tried to comprehend cutting out 24" to 30" of the frame rails. The second crossmember, and the fact that the truck has two piece drive shafts, lets me wonder if just using that 1st drive shaft would couple its' U-Joint to the existing differential.
Anyone here with a 137" wheelbase 2ton AD that can look at their drive shaft (propeller shaft) length for me?
{The 1929-53 Master Parts manual and 1949-54 Truck Assembly manual are close , but not that clear regarding the 1st driveshafts' length)
