1980 flatbed cab n chassis frame
 

is it possible to put a regular bed on a cab n chassis would it bolt up or would you have to do some major work to fit the reg bed on the frame? :chevy:

If the cab and chassis frame has the same wheelbase as the pickup the bed came off of, then yes it will. You may have to drill mounting holes, I believe there are either 6 or 8 bolt holes in a long bed, very simple task.

nice yea I got a few extra parts laying around im driving the c30 and its about 7100 lbs with the flat bed so i was thinking of swapping the bed out i would have to put the humps on the longbed tho for the dual tires

I think a regular truck with an 8' bed is 56" from cab to center of axle and a Cab & chassis is 60" from cab to axle. So is you have a C&C then a bed will not just bolt right up.
