Found another one:

If you notice this one says "CDconversion bed added." What is going on is that Dodge ships all the 4500 and 5500 trucks as a cab-chassis. Then the bed companies can put whatever they like bedhind the cab. There is at least one, possible more guys putting pickup beds on the 4500/5500 trucks. So, yes you can get a 4500/5500 pickup, no it doesn't ship from Dodge that way.

What would be sweet is a 4500/5500 in single wheel short bed. That would like bad a**

I just checked the factory build sheet. It says this truck left the factory as a chassis/cab. the build sheet says it left as an incomplete vehicle, with "delete pickup box" as an option.
