Long or short bed is the same frame hoop for 2wd and 4wd, std and ext cab. And so on. I remember this because it was in some car magazine back in the early 90's that, IIRC, featured the dual-axled T-Rex Dodge truck.

I knew there had to be a reason for the subframe, I just figured it was to allow different variations from one main frame, as in long bed to extended cab, etc. Thanks for the info.
