I know my suggestion would not look stock but would it work. If not why?

I don't believe that it would work since that's the area of the frame where it's humped for the rear axle...

i toyed with the idea of a rcsb dmax myself. My friend and I cut down a 3/4 ton sclb 91 model chevy truck so it could be a swb and we bagged it. I belive it was 18" out of the frame. Common knowledge but make sure you brace the frame were you cut it to make sure that it stays true, i have seen some people not do that and the truck is sideways when they are done! Here are some pics of the truck we cut the frame on!
