You would need to section the frame to put a shortbox on it. NOT a good idea if you are going to drop a Cummins in it..
I am truckless..

Bob, a Dodge "Suburban" conversion crossed my mind, too!
I've got a rust free RamCharger tail clip that I've been bouncing back & forth on adding to mine with a pop out ClubCab window to make up the difference in length
I've gathered all the stuff to do 4 buckets & 2 consoles in mine
That CrewCab needs you to buy it & love on it

A friend of mine sections frames on his Peterbilt twin-turbo Cummins truck-pulling trucks. He even removes some crossmembers to make the frame twist more impressive to the crowd. Hasn't broken one yet....

I keep looking at it & have to say that truck is eligible to be a centerfold in any Dodge truck porn mag
But the running boards have GOT to go, IMHO.
I'm thinking a 2" body lift and oversized tires on 2nd Generation slotted steelies with chrome OEM hub covers and rings...

UPDATE!Tomorrow is the day - I'm going after the truck! His asking price is only $1800, but I'm hoping to score the truck for between $1300 and $1500. With any luck I'll have it buffed out and road-ready for the Mopar Nationals in August! Wish me luck!

Did you get it?
I bought it on Tuesday, then had minor knee surgery yesterday, so I haven't even been able to bring it home yet - can't wait to start cleaning it up!
I got it for $1500....
Awesome, I've been looking for a long bed crew for awhile now and here you are going to cut this one up.
