For a longbed pickup (127") you want a 56" cab to axle. The 60" CA is for 1t cab & chassis (133"). I don't know the widths but the single rear beds have a 4 x 8 floor with no wheelhouses. The DRW beds do and have deeper boxes, but also 4' wide. Can't lay plywood flat in bed. Single rear wheel bodies are made to be approximately the same width as a truck cab. You have that to measure, then when you find a service body compare that number. I'd say no more than 4" total wider would still look fine. But I doubt any would even be so wide. Look up a body company and find their specs. These things don't change much
