supercab body swap

Does any one know if a 75 F150 Supercab SWB will fit on a 74 F250 regular cab 4x4 highboy with a long box? It has the narrower frame in the rear? My box is shot and the cab has some issues so I was looking at donors and came across a supercab in good shape with a good box. what issues will I have to resolve or should I scrap the idea and stick with a regular cab long box? thanks

I think it might be a tad bit long, do you know what the supercab wheelbase is?

No, I don't. That is a question I asked as well. I was hoping someone would know what the wheelbase of a supercab with a short box was. It would seem logical and cost efficient that the frames would be the same as a regular cab long box but engineers don't always follow logic. thanks

thanks Mil1ion. I believe you saved me a ton of trouble. It appears from the site that a F150 Supercab with a short box has a wheelbase of 139" and the F250 Regular cab with a long box has a wheelbase of 133" (6" shorter)
