You can shorten that frame to a short bed, that is going to be a much better route than trying to make that dodge frame work. I have long maintained that the Cummins engine is by far the best engine ever built put in the worst truck possible through a strange marriage.

I am ok with this though because there are a lot of worn out dying dodge trucks with perfectly good Cummins engines out there for the rest of us to stick in our Chevy's to replace the Turd of a diesel GM forced us to endure for so long.

if you start scabbing parts of the GM onto the dodge frame in the end it will look pretty bad i think. my goal in building a vehicle is to have people look under it and say "wow, where did you have all this work done?" in an impressed manner. body swaps almost always never look like they are right, even if the fab work is superb it still looks funny. it will be really easy to mount the dodge stuff into the GM frame and still make it look like it belongs. all you have really done is require new engine mounts and transmission mounts and they are not that difficult to do.
