Scab vs Screw box length

i think i confused myself, and i cant find what im looking for, so im asking you guys.

is there a difference in box length from a 04-07 scab vs screw 5.5ft box?

im thinking there isnt, but i want to make sure the tonneau cover im looking at will fit my truck.

thanks guys.

scab have 6.5 and 8.0 boxes, recently added 5.5 to the lineup

screws only have 5.5 and 6.5 with the 6.5 being recent additions.

well, i have a 132.5" wheelbase, and the dealers sticker says i have the 5.5ft box on an 04.

so i actually have a 6.5 then? i think i have the 6.5, but the paperwork isnt matching up, i think thats whats confusing me.


either that or im just going to go out to my truck and lay down in the box and see if i fit, cuz im 6'3. LOL

If that is your truck in your sig then you have the 6.5" box. I can tell just by looking at it.

thats what i was thinking too. so i just went outside and checked the sticker on the door sill, and that says WB 145. so yea, that dealer i got this from dont know ****, either that or they are trying to cover something up.

even the carfax that i got for the truck says its a 132.5 wheelbase, yet the factory sticker says 145.

hmmm, interesting.

Thats very odd, the 132.5" SCAB is a 5.5' bed. Yours is clearly NOT a 5.5' box. I am pretty sure this box size was introduced in 2004, I have a 2005 SCAB and have seen a 2004 that has a 5.5' box.

RightTurn, the truck in your gallery is a Super Cab 6.5 foot box truck. The 5.5 foot box is visibly shorter from the wheelwell to the front of the bed...

So what you are asking is, is the length of a 5.5ft bed the same across all models year 2004-2007?

My answer is no. Because 5.5ft in 2004 is still 5.5ft in 2007.

The 5.5 foot bed dimensions are the same regardless of which cab style it is mated with. The same also applies to the 6.5 foot and 8 foot beds. As far as I know the bed dimensions for all the different size beds have remained the same on the new body style F150 since it was introduced.
