Re: 1980 flatbed cab n chassis frame
If the cab and chassis frame has the same wheelbase as the pickup the bed came off of, then yes it will. You may have to drill mounting holes, I believe there are either 6 or 8 bolt holes in a long bed, very simple task.

Re: 1980 flatbed cab n chassis frame
I think a regular truck with an 8' bed is 56" from cab to center of axle and a Cab & chassis is 60" from cab to axle. So is you have a C&C then a bed will not just bolt right up.
