An F350 that doesn't appear to have the 140" wheelbase - is this possible for a '76?

Sorry, but Ford didn't make a F350 4x4 Until 1979.

Plus the 1976 F350 was available in 140,155,165.5 " wheelbases only


I find it strange he never took a photo of the rear springs and diff to prove it was an F350.

Everything else is the same on these truck

This VIN# f37yra75728

applies to a F350 but Doors get changed.

ask for a photo of the frame VIN# to verify the door plate matches the frame....and see what he says.
