I think I know good explanation for short bed married to Mega Cab.
The 350/3500 series trucks are still used mostly as grocery getters, where small turning radius is crucial.
Mega Cab with long bed would make what? 22-24 feet long?
Not much chance to find good parking spot at your local milk place.
But one more time, having rigs with COG way behind rear axle, but having good safety margin before axle overloading never was a trouble for me.
On long stretches in TX, I was having fun getting into air drags behind semitrailers doing 75 -80 mph. Lot of turbulence in such driving, yet I was always having good control
