cut the cab off of the Ram but leave the floor attached to the frame and just weld the cab of my 46 to it.
Has anyone done this? If so, please give me advise.

Dub, nothing against the cut and weld, but many fab shops might have a couple of square aluminum plates in their scrap that could be bolted or welded to "shore" up and stiffen where you want the GM seats.. i bought two- 1/8" squares for under $60 in colorado, and it held the 7-power Acura seats in a 73 Chevy 1-ton van..
