Whether or not you can have enough cab clearance with a short bed will depend on the pin box extension length and whether or not the fiver nose is angled to clear.
An auto-slider hitch would work to eliminate chance of contact. Also, where the hitch is located in the bed is a factor--ahead of the axle will be a problem, behind it will help clearance, but add to leverage of pin weight on truck.
