I'm going to pick-up my bday present tomorrow, 79' F150 ranger SWBSC (Short wheelbase supercab) I've only ever seen maybe 5 and all have been 2wd... as is this 1. All the ones I could aproach have also been 460/c6. Never seen 1 of these 4wd. I'm thinking of making 1 out of this 1. Did ford ever do this?????


Pics to com tomorrow!

 

Here's two...

1979 F350 4x4 supercab brown Gold 400 at

1979 F250 4x4 super cab bronze tan 460 at Ranger SuperCab 79

 

Those aren't rare...I'm taking about super cab short bed 1/2 tons. I've seen a few 2wd but never a 4wd.

 

Misread your post, maybe someone will chime in with some info on the swb sc's.

 

I personally have seen very few 4wd shortbeds, and I have never seen a 4wd shortbed supercab. Sounds like it would be a cool idea; happy birthday by the way.

 

Funny you would say you have seen very few 4wd shortbead, that's all I can find here. I have been looking for a 2wd swb for 6 months and only found 2. Both junk.

 

u know ur ryt ive never seen a 1/2 ton 4wd always 3/4 ton i think it would b awesome . ive recently found a 3/4 ton 2wd sbsupercab but im goin 2 1/2 ton 4wd w a 3208 cat motor w a 8 spd trans out of a dumptrk lol (lifes good bein different lol )so post some pics as ur doin ur project cant wait

 

I gotta think the rarest has to be some combo of the crew cab. I want to say crew cab long bed. I have only seen this combo one time. I cannot say if it was factory or not.

 

Id say if it ever existed.. crew cab lariat with full trim and a styleside bed 4x4

 

im interested to see this short box supercab

 

Ive only seen 1 crewcab short bed,but it was a 3/4 ton 4wd original 6cyl factory a/c truck.I was about 19 and wasnt into fords at the time.Boy am i sorry for that now.I wish i had seen the light along time ago lol.That truck would be sitting in my driveway rite now.

 

No, only made a supercab 4wd model in a longbed.

crewcab longbeds were only 2wd, all 4wd crews were shortbeds

Only way to get a crewcab was in Custom or Ranger XLT trim, no Lariat crews.

 

I have seen several of these supercab shortbeds. I think the rarest is the F250 version, as I have only seen one of them.

As far as I know the supercab shortbed was only available in 2wd. In the past, there have been a few guys who have converted them, and some pretty nice, but none of them came from the factory as 4wd, as far as I have been able to find out.

 

A kid I went to school with had a 78 or 79, 1/2 ton 4wd, supercab. Not hard to remember because it was painted like a cow. He junked the box due to rot and rust and installed a flat bed because he couldn't find a solid short bed for it. I see him around sometimes, maybe I'll ask him for a picture.

 

As of right now i know where 2 crew cab short bed 4x4's are both are for sale also both are under 2 grand 1 is in great shape no rust for 1500 the other have not seen yet but is only 1000.
