W300 Crew Cab beds basically come in two sizes 6.5 (146" wb) and 9ft (165" wb)
I have owned (3) LWB and (2) SWB W300 Crew Cabs. Most if the others I know of are 6.5 bed (swb).
The only exception is the red 1968 W300CC that sold out of Calif., I think it belonged to Tom Phillipus (sp?) and it had an 8ft bed (159' wb), might be under photo classified sold trucks.
I dont know if that one came from the factory or was built that way later. I do think that is the ideal bed length for a W300CC, as the SWB beds just look funny on a W300CC with running boards etc.
The 9ft bed W300CC are just tooo darn lonngggggg.
You could build what you are after using a W500 frame, but you would be adding weight.
