greetings fellow Crew Cab fanatics, a newbie here!

Here's my first question here on these boards: Was there ever a factory built 1973-1979 4x4 Crew OR Supercab with a short bed?

Ive been lookin to purchase one, however for some reason, I cant find any.

Thank you for your replys in advance

 

I don't know about the Supercab but they did make a short bed crew.I finally found mine after about 6 months of looking.And I don't mean just looking in the local paper.I looked everywhere.I don't know how much you are planning on putting in to one but I got mine from Rustfree Classics in Indianapolis Indiana.It is a 1979 F250.They have a website where they post their inventory but you can also call and ask if you don't see anything that you want up there because they clean everything up before they put it on the website and they don't have any junk.I am pretty sure the website is rustfreeclassics.com but if it is not just google it and it will find it.If you end up calling them ask for Scott,he is the owner and it is a one man operation and make sure you tell him that Jeffrey from N.C. told you to call.Hope this helps.

 

I know crew cab 4wds came in short bed. In fact Ford didn't make a 4wd LONG bed crew cab until the 80's.

As for the supercabs - I think they had 4wd shorts beads as well. In fact - I THINK it might be the same as the crews = no 4wd long beds. Not 100% positive on that though.


And now for that pic above you. Did you FINALLY get your crew on it's wheels Dave????????

 

Hey I just bought a 74 F250 Crew 2wd that has the rust along the drip line on the drivers side how should I go about fixing it? An what can I do to prevent it from happening again in the future?

 

Yea the one I just bought is a 74 F250 Crew 4 speed manual & 360 with short bed its a 2wd for now till I switch it over to a 4wd long bed.

 

Hey guys, I've posted a question about beds too and didn't hear from anyone who knew so I thought I'd bump this thread to see if one of you guys who knows can chime in.

I've taken a flat bed off of my '78 F250 Crew Cab and wondering if a short bed from any model will work or do we need one specifically for a Crew Cab? Are 250 and 350 beds interchangable? Thanks!

 

Any 73-79 shortbed should work on your truck, they are the same F150-F250-F350

 

Thanks Bronk - Nice looking Crew you've got there! What kind of lift and tire size it do you have on it?

 

WOW!!!!!! Pvillebo, this is AWESOME!!!!!!!
You found you crew cab, but is it a short or long bed?

Thanks again!

 

It is a short bed.So did you go to the website?

 

did I go to it? Well, lets just say that I havent stopped drooling at my screen

they do have one Crew/long bed on there right now. As soon as a Crew/short bed 4x4 4speed shows, Im buying it. And I dont care how far away it is from California

 

They do have guys that will deliver it also.I mapped it out and it was about 12 hours from North Carolina and almost 800 miles.It cost me $500 to get it delivered and every way I figured it up,driving up there and then driving 2 vehicles back or flying and driving just the truck back,I figured I would just be better off getting it delivered.Plus if something would have happened on the way back it would have been my problem to.

 

Crews only came in shortbed 4x4...Supercabs only came in longbed 4x4...as far as 2wd I believe either long or short was available for both.

 

I've posted my '76 Shortbox 4X4 Crew on Craigslist several times cheap and no one will buy it. Can't believe you guys will go half way across the country.
