    I was concerned with how much interior space I would have on a 32 ford truck I am building. I am 6' even, the top Is chopped 4" and the body is channeled 5 1/2 inches over the frame. I didn't want to wind up sitting on the floor when I was done. My solution was to cut my frame in half to pick up an additional 3" of head room then add extra frame members back in for any strength I lost.
    The other thing I always do is weld in my floor but make the tunnel completely removable. This helps with maintenance and room to work inside the car. You loose so much interior room when you channel these things. I hope this helps or spurs some ideas for yourself.
