you can but will have a 14" gap between the bed and cab, an you will have to remove 5-6" from the rear of the frame for the short bed to sit down level.

Putting a short bed on a long frame lets you do extra mods though.

File cabinets, tool box, they both have their use! :lol:

Sorry, was just a picture I got online a few days ago and thought it funny. At least that looks like an old dodge and not a bowtie.

I was wondering how to convert a long box into a short box... decided to just bob the back end, it was more for departure angle than a shorter wheelbase that I was going for.
