Hmmm, decisions, decisions. If it had been a bigger difference, like 1 or 2 inches then I would do it for sure because I want a low ride stance and will plan to use an aftermarket lowering kit. But .6" is right at the ragged edge of being worth it.

If you weren't already splicing the floor from the GMC I might say space the bed up...but since you're this far...drop the cab down to where you want it. It might even be easier to work with, depending on how it lays out.
Also, after seeing your last photos, I vote for slide the cab back and center the front wheels. I think the work of sectioning the front clip wouldn't be worth the reward. Plus, looks like your steering column/wheel are already back too far into the passenger compartment in your "forward" position.
Love the project, I'm a secret IH fan as well!
