I thought this always was an option. I know I've seen supercab's with the 8 ft bed in the old body style '97 - 03.

Here's the specs: http://www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/f150/features/specs/

I was surprised to find it only 14 inches longer than a 6.5' screw and 19 inches longer than a 8' reg cab. Guess I'm more surprised that the screw is longer than my 8' reg cab. The cab heights for 4x4 are also all within .4". The screws are 76 and the others 75.6.

I think the scab with a 7' bed would look proportionally good. I recall seeing some 94-95 Screws with a 7 or 8ft bed, monster long. The rear wheels were closer to the cab and it looked proportionally ok. This is the only pic I can find:

Lots of choices out there for the 7 lugger. Been in use for the 97-98 F-250LD, 99-03 F-150 7700 too.

Maybe you are thinking of the super Crew cab with 6.5 bed? I think this is only available starting in 07, am I right? I would have bought a crew cab with 6.5, but it was only available with 5.5 (too short) and maybe 8ft (too long overall).

I personally just don't care for the looks of the long box F150's, but thats just me, they are just too straight, no real curves or anything. But a supercab long box F250/350 4X4 or crew cab long box F250/350 4X4, now those are some really hot looking trucks IMO.

My work truck is a 2006 F-150 SCab XL 5.4L 4x2 8' bed....until I get another new one next week, at least. Obviously I'm not going to do anything to it other than drive it, but here are some pictures.....

That truck is identical to the one I sold today to one of my customers. It was a bitch getting in and out of the parking spot.

The 4x4 Heavy Duty SC looks better than any other F-150 out there. You guys that are hating on it but like the F250, just haven't see one done up right. Believe me, you just have to see one rimmed up, rolling on 33's, with a leveling kit, replacement grille, etc. It looks hot - like a Super Duty.

Heybeermantix: how is the turning radius on that truck? looks like the long wheel base.
