They only made the crew cabs in 3/4 ton and 1 ton. You will have to build one, I have seen several trucks that people have done this to.

So... Any idea what the wheelbase would be?
I can't be so lucky that a frame for a long bed would work???

No, a long bed frame will not work. Are you wanting to do a short bed or long bed? Either way you will need to get a crew cab frame and either shorten it for a short bed (which many people have done) or just keep it stock with a long bed.

You would probably want to get a parts 2wd SWB truck to get the parts you need to swap over the suspension from the half ton and the short bed. I am not sure if you would have to use the C20/30 front suspension cross member or one out of a C10, or just be able to swap over the A arms.

Spend some time in our projects forum. You can't swing a dead cat with out hitting a SWB/CC project these days.
