It is tempting to tell you to take one hundred fourteen and eight-tenths inches out of the wheelbase.
That said, I would think you could take at least two feet out and still be "safe". Isn't that car body-on-frame? I'd get under the car and take measurements, look for a straight stretch of frame rail back there, it might tell you how much you dare chop out before the complexity increases by an order of magnitude.
