Cutting Bed for Laying Frame.......Question

[C10agent]

I am seriously considering a extreme notch in the rear to lay frame. I was planning on a c notch but the bed is off and I know I will be regretting not going lower. I have found that the bed has to be welded/raised to have everything fit. Since I don't weld, I found folks cut the center section out of a bed and remove the wheel humps to make it fit.

Question - can I cut the center section out, remove the wheel humps and then HAVE two metal subframe made to bolt onto the two remaining bed sections and put wood on top to hide it?? Has anyone done this or heard of it?? Any advice and pictures would be seriously appreciated.
