Box Swap?

Hi,
Hope I'm in the right forum - not obvious to me. I have an 86 long bed Ranger with regular cab. I like the short bed look a lot better but I believe the short bed is also shorter wheelbase. If so, no swap. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Have a read here: The Ford Truck & SUV Wheelbase Chart

You are correct, you can not swap short bed box on to long bed frame, wheel wheels will not line up, about 6" difference
