Bed swap
Not necessarily, a regular cab 8' box might be the same wheelbase as an extended cab 6' box.
A reg cab 6' box from the 80-96 models were the same wheelbase as a bronco or only off by an inch.
EDIT:
Perfect example, Reg cabs with 8' boxes, super cabs with 6.5' boxes and crews with 5.5' boxes all have 144" wheelbases. Why would ford make 3 different frames? They'd make one frame and have it compatible for all three configurements. I'm sure if you crawled under those 3 different trucks, from the front doors back mounts would be different but from the B pillar forward, they might be the same.

but regardless, this is all completely irrelevant to what the OP is asking unless he's planning on changing his cab as well, or cutting a foot out of his frame.
