12 inches out of the center of the frame, 8 out of the rear, then I am going to take a single 20" cut out of the long bed stepside.

I know you already cut the frame down but in my head the 20" out of the middle makes me think things won't be in the same position.
The standard 14" out of the middle + 6" off the end shortens the frame to SWB dimensions while keeping the wheelbase & frame kick-up similar to a SWB. Cutting 20" out of the middle & moving everything forward yields the same overall frame length but seems to me it shifts the frame kick-up over the rear end 6" farther forward which in my head impacts the wheelbase.
Am I missing something??

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
