It looks like 22"... 

It's dark out, so not real easy to get a photo. If nobody posts anything else, I can get a better shot in the light.

Figure out how well a cab and chassis frame (135.5") wheel base with and extended cab and a real shortbed would work.  My extended cab bed is 19" and if the regular SWB bed measures 22-22.5" which should be almost is perfect on that frame.  I've always liked what a regular SWB looks like with the extended cab versus what mine is.  Tomorrow or Wednesday I am getting a 1987 GMC 3500 delivered that is a cab and chassis 135.5" wheelbase.

Yes I believe so, Thanks all!!!  I will report my results.  I know of a rusted shortbed I can have that I will mount before I do any excessive work.  I have to sell the utility bed to help fund the project.
