As to the bed, it will bolt right back onto the same bed mounts just like the cab and core support. The frame has not changed, other than moving the 3 foot section that carries the front crossmember and A-arms.

I am just seeing this as a cheap way to lower the truck by utilizing my spare frame.

Oh I see. I thought in your original drawing you had the rear frame section Z'ed as well. If you don't do anything to the rear frame or bed, you are going to have a huge built in drop up front with only about 6"-7" of available suspension drop in rear. Otherwise, you have to raise the bed floor.
