Default Ram Cab Conversion

Had a friend of mine who has a 98 standard cab short bed ram bring up the possibility of a extended cab, really short bed Ram. Has anyone seen this done or have any insight?

Won't work. Unless you modify the frame......

Thanks HeyYou! That's kinda what i was figuring, dude was saying the only modification to the frame would be the cab mounts but now that I'm looking up underneath, the job does not appear to be that simple.

No, I believe the frame bends up right behind the cab.... you would have to weld in some additional frame to accommodate the extended cab..... and then you would have a qc/sb, like I got.
