I have a Std cab lb plow truck and Im getting a clubcab roller from a member. I intend to use that cab on my wifes truck do to rust front mice above the door opening BUT the cab is good enough for my plow truck so I figured I could Swap the cab over and possibly use a Short bed front my clubcab that Im swapping to a stepside. Thanks

Its the same issue with putting a crew cab short bed on a club cab long bed frame or a reg cab on a ramcharger frame. You either have to use a body lift or channel the cab for the hump.
