Not to mention, the shortest chassis cab offered is 60" cab-to-axle, while the longest pickup has a 56" cab-to-axle, so even if it bolted up, there would be a 4" wider gap between the cab and box. Also, chassis cabs usually have the fuel tank behind the axle unless ordered specifically with a mid-ship tank, while pickups have their tanks in front of the axle, so the fuel filler would be another issue to deal with switching from the royal bed to a pickup bed. The rear of the frame is also different, so the bumper won't bolt up either.
