Will an 1985 extended cab, fit onto a regular cab truck with a short bed? building a custom bed so that dont matter. Im just wondering if it will bolt right up. Anyone have any pictures with an extended cab with a short box?

so do you mean will an 85 extended cab cab fit onto a regular cab frame? if thats what your askin, then im about positive the mounts would be different because of the shorter cab, but im sure you could make it work if yo uhave a welder and what not. also the bed would be reeeaalllyyy short but since your makin a bed that shouldnt be a problem

Here is one such vehicle:


As noted, I think the rear cab mounts need to be moved and possibly you need a small body lift to raise the cab over the "horse collar" cross member that normally sits behind the cab (will now be under it).
