Question 79 F150 4wd reg.cab longbed>supercab shortbed?

Howdy
I've got a 79 F150 4x4 300 4sp reg. cab longbed that's in dire need of a redo and would like to know if it's possible to swap cab and bed for a supercab shortbed setup? I don't believe they offered that from the factory on a 1/2 ton 4wd? Also have a '69 390 in the garage for her and would like to track down a rebuildable C6 for the old FE.
Thanx in advance
Mark

The wheelbase is about 6" shorter on the reg.cab long bed. You could lengthen the frame, or shorten the bed. I have toyed with this idea for my truck, but for now it will remain a reg cab long bed.
