I am 99.999999978 percent sure it was built. Pretty sure the SB didn't hit till 98 from the factory.

If it is done right, and you like it, wouldn't bother me..........

They made an extend cab short bed 2500 in 1997 for sure. Not sure when Dodge started doing that, but, I'm "pretty sure" they made them earlier than 97.

I would have said no but I found this on Wiki.
Models were now the 1500 half-ton, 2500 three-quarter-ton, and 3500 dual-rear-wheel one-ton in both 2- and 4-wheel drive. 1500 Rams offered both 6- and 8-foot (1.8 x 2.4 m) boxes. 2500 Rams offered 6-foot (1.8 m) boxes only with quad cabs. 3500 Rams were only made with 8-foot (2.4 m) boxes. In 1998, Dodge introduced the "Quad Cab", which used smaller suicide doors in the back for a door opening.

Busboy, Quad cabs came out in 98, so that Wiki reference is for later trucks.

I sure have never seen one, nor have ever heard of on, at least in a 2500 or 3500 Cummins equipped truck. My 97 owners manual only refers to a standard cab 8' bot at 135" WB and the Club Cab 8' box at 155" WB.

I would love to see a build sheet if one really does exist.

The reference was for the second gen trucks starting in 1994-2002, guess I should have given the link but there was a lot of info on the page, look about 1/4 the way down the page. I was just reinforcing the fact I didn't think they made a 2500 but I was surprised they made a 1500.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram

The way I read it, they did make a gasser 2500 Club/Short, but no V10/Diesels.

In 1996 Cummins only came in a long bed configuration regardless of club cab or regular cab. I wanted a club cab with a short bed but could not order that combination with the cummins back in '96 when I bought mine.
