It's called channeling. It is how you get a 32 low boy but will work on any vehicle some needing more work than others.

I have thought of doing this to my truck but need to work out the radiator mount as you will be dropping every thing to make it match.

a stock floor on a luv would probably mean a whole new frame. luv frames arent that tall to begin with, and then to take more out of it. it would be a bit hairy.

Cut the floor out then drop the cab down to where you want it like even with the bottom of the frame then weld in some sheet metal to fill in the gap and presto you just channeled the cab. it sounds easy but the angled floor makes it difficult but it is doable.
