yes sir! it has duel tanks too... drivshafts easy to shorten, id figure to double plate the frame each side and also i might have to relocate the bed mounts, which is pretty easy

No need to relocate the bed mounts. Just take 16" out of the frame about 4" behind the from bed bolt

I'm interested in cutting down a 1989 F350 crew cab frame. Would appreciate any suggestions you've got after getting through your project.
