I cut mine years back. But mine also had a blank plate over the original holes for a stereo. If your going for the stock look then I'd say don't, but if your going for your own personalized look then put it where ever you want to put it. Thats the greatest part about building your own truck, you don't have to live with anything that some over paid designer decided would be a good idea if you don't want to. If you don't like something cut, weld, grind, torch, removed, install, fabricate whatever you want. Just like swapping motors, transmissions, and rearends. You are the manufacturer/engineer/designer/ and assembly worker in an essence, you get to make your own decisions about what you like and hate about your truck and change them if you please. Thats what makes your truck special to you. Just like we're all different in our own way so are our trucks. Who wants to have something thats identical to everyone else's. This is what we all have in common, the drive to have something that we have created and we get to say, "Yes I did design this, I put the long nights and hard work into building my own truck. I didn't just go out and buy another throw away car thats going to be rusted out or crushed in ten yrs. Our trucks can be rebuilt from damn near any accident and have actual heavy gauge steel body panels that dont dent in when you lean or sit on them.

Sorry for rambling on but thats my 2 cents. I love my truck I wouldn't sell it for anything. It was my first truck and I have to many memories in it.
