There is places that specialize in it,, Not sure the name right now but do a search you will find them. I know a few that had the 3500 megacab with shortbox and had them converted to long boxbefore Dodge made them from the factory. The frame will for sure need to be extended about 16-18 inches, the driveshaft will also need to be replaced, as will wireing and fuel lines and such. I am sure it will not be cheap, but anything can be done

Cheaper to sell one and buy the other.
