I assume you have a regular long bed now. You need a short bed frame. The wheelbase is different.

What are you talking about man? Need more detail. Why are you switching to a short bed? ( Everyone knows the the truck has to be a shorty to put a short box on ) Or are you talking for step side to short box?
