Talking cab and bed swap

I bought a 72 ranger short wheel base yesterday. the frame is bent some how can I put the cab and bed on a 77 short wheel base? how much trouble? last year I put a 72 cab and bed on a77 f250 four wheel drive and had to cut four inches out of the frame. thanks for any help

the thing is in 73 the cab got 4 inches longer. thats what you ran into and will on this one too. you can either do what you did before or move the axle up and cut the length off the end of the frame. either way its a little work.
