I am intrigued by pulling the cab foward and shortening the nose. I think your on to something there, but obviously you have already seen some of the issues your going to have to deal with. I like the cab foward modern approach. I say do what ever you have to do to keep the cab foward and worry about the rest later (although i know you need to keep the whole project in mind to do this.) The sorter bed does,t really matter to me, but it almsot souns as if you want the long bed so you can haul stuff---unless i missed something along the way. Looks good though.
