Are you sure about your statement, Yup?
I always thought the long (8 foot) bed was only
on regular cab Dakotas. So that tells me the
frames are the same on all Dakotas.

I may be wrong.. Anyone else have a comment on
that?

Pretty sure. You're right about it only being offered on RC Daks, but why do you draw that conclusion ? I'm thinking at least 2 frame lengths - 1 for RC shortbed, another for RC longbed and extracab shortbed. Otherwise you could have an extracab longbed.

You're correct Yup, there is or was two frame
lengths. I forgot about the 90 Dakota I had with
a regular cab and short (6 foot) box.

I stand corrected..

running this CC kills me on the weekends because I miss my 8' bed from my 92 Dak. Except, when I had that truck I wanted the CC's room. Damn, why can't you ever get a cab and a half and an 8' bed in a midsized truck!?!?!?! :(
