Which is taller?
Which truck / camp rig is taller (to the top of the camper including roof top equipment) and hauling the same camper: 1. F450 Cab and Chassis with a flat bed, or 2. F450 with pickup style box?

Fleet Ford specs shows F450 pickup shows 38.3" ground to open tailgate with a small 9900 rawr.
Same specs shows the F450 cab/chassis 34.8" ground to top of the frame rails with a much larger 13660 rawr.
Specs does say these dimension may vary a bit with options
You will have to look at each upfitters bed assy to figure any differences.
Open tailgate should be roughly the same as the bed where the camper bottom sits.
Frame Rails typically sit 6-8" below the top of the rear tires and must be built up such that the bottom of the flatbed sits far enough above the rear tires that the tires do not contact the flatbed when the suspension flexes.
