Cab modification question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have what will probably be a stupid question, but since I couldn't find the answers via google, here I am. I don't know a lot about these trucks yet and am learning here. Please don't blast me too hard lol.

I am planning on using a late model frame for my 68 truck project. The question I have is, the channel under the cab is obviously not wide enough to sit down all the way on the frame I'm using. But, it looks like the back of the cab could possibly be trimmed to allow it to fit? Hoping to tuck the frame up in there a bit. I think the frame width at that point is around 34"? Probably wrong, but I couldn't read the pics (too blurry) I saw in another post here. Is trimming about 3.5" off each side doable?
