XCab question

Is it at all possible to set a extended cab on a longbed frame with a 6' bed to make an extended cab short bed bullnose?

You'll have to shorten the bed or extended the frame for a perfect fit

Check out the dimensions in the '81 Ford truck brochure. Might give you some ideas on how to approach it. 1981 Ford Pick Up / 09.jpg

Can't do it unless you use a body lift. The frame kicks up after the cab, and the kick-up is further back on a extended cab.
