It can be. Take it to a good body shop or welder. They can fabricate new mounts for your cab.

Depends how bad it is.. Gotta fab good strong brackets and make sure the rest of the metal is good to weld to.. I think there was one guy here who did it but cant remember his name. Im sure if you search you will be able to find it..

Not really colosets SOLID metal is like 10 inches back, maybe 6 inches forward, where the cab floor boards start coming up for the firewall.
