It can be done, but it's not worth the hassle. You have to fab new rear cab mounts, account for the dips and drops in the frame, and deal with shortening the bed or lengthening your frame. Not to mention wiring, fuel/brake lines, brake cables, welding, the list goes on. Both are a pain to do and not worth the cost and man hours it takes. If you can do it, more power to ya. Chances are it's gonna cost more to convert than it'd cost to just buy an extended cab truck already built and ready to drive without being hacked up.

Umm, they are out there. 155" wheelbase. Also if you desire more space, a crew cab long bed is available (F350 only) with a 168.4" wheelbase.
