Yes. The Longhorn bed will fit as long as you remove the front, 6", extension and replace it with a standard box front. The Longhorn frame is a one ton frame and is 9" cross section channel. It is also 6" longer than the 127" wheelbase frame.

Even the 3/4 ton Longhorns had the 1-ton cross section frame since it was a longer wheelbase and was designed to carry a heavy camper.
