I saw a club cab short bed once and it looked retarded if you ask me. The guy had the frame chopped I think and a short bed off another truck and it had about a 4" lift. It was different but It looked like a hotwheels truck or somethin that wasn't quite right, just not my taste I guess.

There is a guy here named mikon who had one listed in the classifieds. It was actually a reg cab 250 shortened frame with a short box. Truck was really cool looking (personal opinions here) , but he never replied to my requests to see if the truck was still for sale.
Since it's gone from the classifieds, I'll assume he sold it.
BTW...
The springs in the front should be switched from the 3 leaf to the 6 leaf versions with the higher spring rate but they should swap right in. There are a few threads on it, and the easiest way to find it is to look up ramcharger conversions, as it's pretty much the same. The front axle, and rear axle should be upgraded to the 60 & 70 series found in the 250 as well. If not, they will most likely get torn up with the weight and torque of the diesel.
It might be easier to do what Mikon did by just shortening a frame out of a 250
Post pix if you decide to go through with it.
