Well if it does, youd have a major gap. You'd have to shorten the frame and everything.

On the GM Media site it has this:

Reg cab longbed = 133" wheelbase
Ext cab shortbed = 134" wheelbase

So there is an inch difference somewhere.

It also mentions the VortecMax package in a few places...only available on Ext cab & crewcab.
