Making the front windows work might be harder. The rest of it would just be a challenge.
Look at that ford. Look where the driveshaft goes. How could that door work? How does the engine fit in there and where would you sit? Look at all COEs. The cab is raised up high for a reason. Look at GM's last ones and you will see why they are built the way they are. The only low down cabs are the ones that put the driver out in front of the engine and front axle
