The old cut and shut we used to call it, generally a long rear half joined to a short front half through the front floor and the windscreen pillars.
I must admit in the early nineties i did a fair share of these, mostly on rusty 1 tonner cabs, staggered cuts on the front pillars and long sill panel to the rear cab, joined through the floor at the factory seam.
There was no real problem doing them if they were done right, it was that anyone could do them even in their backyard, thats where the problem came up, so the best way to combat it, as it was pretty rife back then, was to ban it alltogether.
