Not Will, but...
The shortest chassis cab you can get is a regular cab, long bed.
You can get a 1500 with a regular cab/short bed combo, but once you move up
into the 2500 and up the only model they offer with a short bed is the
club/quad cab.
They only offer stock chassis-cabs in 3500 models, since most people that
mount flatbeds and stuff want the dual rear wheels.
Also, if you do go with a 1500 and remove the bed, you sacrifice the V10, as
those are only offered in the 25/3500.
Sorry!
Later,
Jon

> Well we are planning a 3 day event Friday-Sunday. Friday we are trying to
set up tours at the Bud plant and Daimler Chrysler warehouse then have a
cruise that night. Saturday will be the truck show in the am then racing in
the afternoon and night (pending what the track will let us do) and then a
awards presentation back at the hotel. Sunday will be the BBQ and the off
roading. We are trying to set up with a place just outside of St Louis that
has 1800 acres of Offroading including 800 acres of sand flats. We have many
different types of Dakotas 2wd, 4wd ect. so we have to have something for
everyone to do. Sat the 4X4 guys can show there truck and watch racing and
run if they want and Sunday if you don't have a 4X4 hop in with someone that
does and go offroading. We currently have 3 sponsors that will be giving
away parts and helping with the event and we are waiting to hear form many
more. We want this to be the best meet ever with something for everyone and
the time to meet!
> and hang with fellow owners and
> friends. here is the National meet website it is in the early stages so
keep checking back for updates. This will be a all dodge event so if the Ram
guys would like to join as well thats ok with us.
http://www.speedtweaks.net/dakotausa_meet.htm also if more than just Dakotas
show up we will add classes to the Truck Show. This will be one big ass
event with the focus mainly on Dakotas but all dodge trucks are welcome as
well as PTs and Jeeps
