Is an Fx4 Supercab available with a 5.5ft bed?

I messed up and got a 6.5ft bed I think, I have less than 2" total space when I park in the garage. Oooops.

 

NO.

2" clearance is enough.

 

I know they do have it a Lariat. I work with a person that bought an 04 with the 5 1/2 foot box. It was hard to find, had to dealer trade for one in K.C.

 

Yeah, BUT I have to use a mirror to park.
I bought a full length mirror and mounted up on the ceiling at an angle.

 

...as long as THE BIG ONE doesn't hit any time soon.

 

When I ordered ny 04 it was available in a Supercab 5.5' bed (133'' wheel base). I've got an XLT Scab with the 5.5' bed but mine was ordered for me, they didn't have any of the 133'' wheel base in stock and said it was rare. I did hear rumors (nothing solid) that the 133'' wheel base wasn't selling well and maybe it ended up on the chopping block for 05.

 

I have a one of those "RARE" trucks.

FX4 SCAB with 5.5 Ft bed.

I ordered it from the KC factory in December 03, but didn't get it till March 04. The hold up was getting the frame built for it. I was told that only 6% of all the trucks built would be this 133 inch wheelbase. These trucks are VERY rare. I have only see one in person besides mine.

This wheel base is perfect for me because I don't need a 6.5 bed sense I don't use the bed much.
The short wheel base allows this truck to be very nimble in tight places... like parking garages.

And it fits perfectly in the garage...

I need to update my gallery, but you can check out the stock pictures of my truck.

 

I hear that, the turning radius if great!

 

My dad just ordered an '05 (company truck) and they 5.5 foot bed is still an option for the Scab. I have yet to see one and was skeptical as to how they would look, but ford2004F150's truck looks awesome.

 

Well I think they look good but I'm a little biased. I think it gives the truck a nice sporty look. I've got no pics of my truck, anyone out there got pics of a Scab with the 5.5' bed?

 

I'm with fatty. Short box scabs are pretty sporty lookin' and hot! Some guy a few blocks away has a SD in supercab w/ the super short box - I love it! Never seen any others like it.

 

They make sense.

All of theSCrew owners have proven that sometimes 5.5 is all you need...

Just as SCab owners have proven that you dont always need a fullsize rear seat.

Put the two together and voila... Fords trumps the competition again with a unique body style (I think they were also the first to offer crew cab short box in heavy duties as well as supercab/crewcad chassis cab trucks)

 

Check my gallery fatty... I got pics of what you want in there.

 

I have got a white FX4 super cab with the 5.5 bed. I bought it as they unloaded it off the truck. I love it. It is very versatile and you dont see em everyday.

 

I've got a red FX-4 Scab with the 5.5' box. Absolutely perfect for me, I love the way it looks and apparently others do as well as I get a lot of comments on it.
