All the cab mounts between 2wd and 4wd are identical. So you wont have to modify anything.

i was looking at a 2wd today and looked at my 4wd and on my 4wd the body mounting brakets go up above the front sping hanget and 2wd one are back abit and hang off the chassis rail about 2"

Here is two pics, 1st is a 4wd 1st gen body mount bolted on the chassis.

The 2nd is the cab alone, if you are using a 4WD chassis but putting the 2WD body on, i would try as you said and cut off the front mount off your 4wd cab and weld this on to the radiator support panel on the 2WD cab. The 4 other cab mounts will bolt up without any troubles.

2nd gen onwards they are the same between 2WD and 4WD, 1st gens are funny.

At a guess if the cab is twisted .. I would say the chassis aint to far behind ...
