Correct. The 12" is usually removed just forward of the rear cab mount. I got another 72 lwb rolling chassis that I will be cutting in the next week or two. I noticed that where I will be removing the 12" there is a VIN number stamped. So I will be using a modified version of ebfabman's technique to shorten it without hampering with the VIN number.

I will post pics as I progress on this. Also, I am gonns do a wood floor, so I will be getting all new parts for that.
