1953 Express beds question

I've been looking at options for a bed on my 1953 F-250. I'm seeing more F-350 parts trucks in my area than F-250's. Has anyone ever shortened a 9' Express bed from the 130" wheelbase F-350 to 8' for a 118" wheelbase F-250? Is the 12" length difference between the cab and rear wheels?, or is there also length difference between the rear wheels and rear bumper?

Dave

Dave - Here's comparative drawings of each if it helps. Looks like the difference is all in front of the axle. Stu
