Bed install on a bare chassis

Hi -
Would anyone know if it's possible to put a regular pick up bed on a 176" WB crew cab? And if so, what would be needed to complete the job? A new fuel tank is a given, but from what I've read, I may be 4 inches off. Is that just a matter of getting the correct drive shaft and moving the spring hangers? Or is there more to it? Thanks for any feedback.

Cab/chassis frames are different, and do not have pickup box mounts. So fabrication will be required, but it can be done....

That is the long wheelbase I think, it would have to be an 8' bed. Check out transfer flow for the tanks.
