Lately I've been paying more attention to the frame rails of some trucks I see, and one thing I'm sure is the frame of some Class 5 variant of the Brazilian Ford Cargo isn't so unsuitable to eventually work around and fit the cab of a conventional bonnetted truck, such as a Ford Super Duty for instance. As the frame of most Class 5 trucks in general tend to have wheel well clearance issued when the cargo body is bolted directly above the frame rails, instead of using some sort of spacers which keep the loading deck a little higher as in a frame with curved frame rails, it might not be so much rocket science to adapt different cabin setups on a single basic frame design to improve economics of scale.
