Cab would be longer and you would then need to section out the front part of the bed to shorten it to keep it on the frame if you intend to keep the bed. Below is an '85 pickup that had an extra cab installed in place of a std. cab and the front of the bed was shortened (as was the back): r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: body swap [Re: 4Crawler] #911452 10/21/08 12:19 AM Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 4 R ryanz OP Need a Spot thanks for the help guy's!!!
