Bobtail is when a tractor trailer is not towing a trailer

And yes somewhere in the SD era a short bed dually was offered

 

Nice job Brad, on the truck and the write up. Thank you
Happy Thanksgiving

good info brad
truck turned out great man

 

It's different, I like it! Dang good job on being particular too, there's never a wrong way to tackle a project.

 

I've seen a 6.0 power stroke CCSB piped and tuned that was very slick looking and it ran like a bat outta hell

 

And this has what to do with this thread?

 

That your 7.3 will outlive the 6.0 by 500k miles?

 

this is why i posted lol

 

I don't agree with this. I have nothing to back it up (how do you prove a negative?) but I do not believe that Ford ever offered a factory CCSB dually. Dodge has 'em, but not Ford. That said, Brad, your truck turned out very nice, and you can probably imagine somebody seeing that and saying, "I didn't know Ford ever offered that" since your setup could easily be mistaken for factory work - it's probably *nicer* than factory work.

 

i can guarantee you that ford made a 4 door short box factory dually truck because i have seen one

No where in this did you mention anything about a dually.


Ford DID make them. I almost ordered one back on 01

Just because you saw one, does NOT mean ford made one. Prime example is my truck

 

I guess just to go with this topic of things that exist, but Ford may not have made; the local Ford dealer had a 2012 F350 Regular Cab Short Bed dually on the lot for a few months, and I wish I would have taken a picture of it because I don't think I'll ever see another one. I don't know if somebody ordered it that way, or if a conversion was done somewhere, but I don't see the benefit of a short wheel base dually.

 

o shoot i forgot to put in DRW lol my bad!! but i talked to the guy and he said it was like that from factory

 

Saw this one WAY back in 2005 or so. Based on the paint I am guessing it's a Waldoch Conversion based on a F250 with just spacers and a bed put on it. I always liked it, even if it was only a 2 wheeler.

"on edit"....For some reason FTE NEVER lets me insert pics anymore, it always come up with that stupid crap below.... Just click the link to see it
