LWB bed on on SWB

[splavin90]

is it possible to put a LWB bed on a SWB?

says i've got a 114in WB on the door tag,

but it's got a long bed on my truck.

or are the LWB trucks 114in?

Perhaps the door was replaced sometime in the past with one from a short wheel base truck. Does the door tag match the frame tag?

Put a tape measure on the ground and measure the wheel base for yourself. Center of hub to center of hub. I agree that the tag dont belong to the truck.
I dont believe that there is any way an 8' bed will go on a shortbed frame without major modifications. A long bed is longer both in front of, and behind the wheel well.

No, you can't put a LWB box on a SWB truck...not without a LOT of surgery. As stated, it's MUCH more likely that your driver's door has been replaced at some point with one from a SWB truck and the VIN tag was never switched over. Compare the door VIN with the one stamped on the frame.

your bed is definatley a long box truck, shaun. yea match the VIN on the door with the frame tag. might make it hard to get paperwork on it that way tho!
