Chopped is obvious, the top is cut off, pieces are cut out of the posts and the top is welded back on with appropriate mods to make it fit.

Sectioned: a horizontal slice is taken out of the body.

Channeled: OR "body dropped" (in mini truck parlance) the floor is cut out around the perimeter and the body is lowered down and the body is welded bck to the floor.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
