Welcome to the forum

There are no bed swap options for the Long Bed Ranger, the rear axle is 6" farther back than on other Rangers, even the extended cab
So any other Ranger 6ft bed put on the long bed frame would have a 6" gap between cab and bed because of wheel well placement

The regular cab and extended cab used the same 6ft bed so are swappable, but the long bed Rangers don't have that option and they only came in regular sides, no step side

Thanks for that info that totally makes sense . So i take it all step side box are 6 ft long ? ..only way to fit is to move the axle 6" up and use a shorter drive shaft then

Well yes and no, the frame is different because axle is 6" farther back

Picture here of 6ft bed frame, notice the hump over the rear axle: https://www.ranger-forums.com/attach...t-dsc09195.jpg

Well the hump is 6" farther back on a long bed frame
