Yes, it's been done. I would hardly call it bolt-on, but the front mounts at least should line up.

It can (and has) been done... You just have to build the rear cab mounts and a few other little things. Regular cab longbed works perfect.

I know whoever did it hung out with CheapThrills. Search for "Explanger" in the build threads. It was either that or something real similar he called it.
