body swap ,will it work?

I have access to a 88 ford 4x4 supercab with a 6 foot bed I was thinking of putting a standard cab and a 8 foot bed off another 88 4x4 on it.Will it bolt right on??????The wheel base seems to be the same I was wondering if the mounts are in the right position for a easy swap over.

The wheelbases are different. Regular cab long bed is 133", ext. cab shortbed is 139". I doubt it will fit.

you could probably do it, but it would be a lot of work and not an 'easy swap over'.
