I've been scouring the Internets in search of a single cab long bed 4x4 F-150 between a 1992-1996 model and I came across something I've never seen before recently. I was looking at this one truck thinking that's not a short bed but it doesn't look like a long bed either. I had never encountered this before but it was just a picture so I blew it off to the way the pic was taken. Then one day I was doing some reading and apparently there is an 8 ft bed, a 6.5' bed AND a 5.5' bed.

I always thought the short bob looking beds were "short beds" but it seems some people call the 6.5' a short bed.

Anyways, I'm really wanting a 8ft bed but does somebody have a picture of single cab long 8ft bed vs a single cab 6.5" bed? It's easy to spot the 5.5" beds but it's hard to tell the other two apart...

 

Here ya go

 

Yours a 6.5 or 5.5? NICE truck btw! I like those tow lights. I think I'm going to do that to mine too.

 

There are no 5.5 foot beds on these trucks and the 6.5 bed is actually 6-3/4'(80") long.

 

They're pics I found on google images. My truck is the 88 crew cab in my sig. An F150 is way too light for my needs.

THIS is my truck

 

I see. The one must have just looked funny in a picture b/c its not a short bed. It's pretty easy to tell them apart but I thought there were 3 beds after googling it. So the 6 1/2' is on later models or supercrew/cabs?

The truck I'm looking at is a long bed then. The kid told me it was short but said he didn't know for sure but would measure and tell me but he never did. Thanks

I bet that is a hoss to drive

 

The 5.5' bed is on the Supercrews from 2001 to present

The 80-97 offered 2 beds like Conanski said

Long 8'
Short 6.75'
NOTHING else. Discussion over

 

That's exactly what I needed lol thanks

 

Ya a 460, 3:55 gears, and no egr. I've won every drag race against my friends trucks. Everybody wants to drive it and I've had several people try to buy it. When I went to pick my truck up from an exhaust shop it had been at for 2 days the owner said at least 6 people tried to buy it. They don't have to find a parking spot for it though!

 

That's cute.

 

Here's a 95 F350 single cab with an 8' bed.

 

I haven't figured out why they do those 5.5' beds. My dad has one and it's useless. He wants my truck.

 

Grocery getter. You haver to remember 3/4 of the trucks sold today NEVER have more than a bag of mulch put in the bed

 

Thanks guys. I'm clear on it now. I just need to be able to put a toolbox and eventually a dirt bike or four wheeler in there and I want to be able to close the bed. However if I found an extended cab I liked I don't think I would want a long bed b/c the truck would just be too long. I've been around trucks a lot and growing up a guy had a 6'' suspension lifted F150 extended cab red XLT. It was sweet. Another guy had a F250 w/ a v10 4 door long bed on 44's. We rode around everywhere in that thing and every once in a while he'd let me drive. One time he actually accidently ran over the hood of a little car b/c it was beside him at a stop light and he didn't see it lol. Sadly he died in a car accident but those two trucks made me love Ford trucks forever.

 

I have an 03 supercrew with that bed. It is short, but my priority was to be able to haul the family around, tow a trailer, and keep our stuff in the bed. I also have 1-5 mountain bikes and friends every week, along with supplies.
I did not want a super long truck because I like the maneuverability when off roading. That truck is perfect for what I use it for. Occasionally, I will use it for wood or other materials, and it handles those loads as well.

However, I have the 88 1 ton RC LB so I can actually haul bigger heavier loads.

But, I've been thinking it would be nice to have a short flareside 4x4....
