Being **** about wording doesn't really help when it just makes the situation more complicated. If I said I have a extended cab flareside truck with a lunchbox locker up front and a Detroit out back then everyone knows my truck has two rows of seating, two doors, a lunchbox locker up front and a full carrier replacement locker out back. The only ambiguity is whether or not I paid big bucks for a Detroit brand locker in the rear or bought an off-brand equivalent.
Extended cab does NOT mean 2 doors(just look at modern Extended cabs. First they went with suicide rear doors and now they have 4 "regular" doors.

Ford has been using SUPERcab since the start in 78(says right on the SUPERcab window. Chevy started the extended cab in 88

Good luck finding parts for an extended cab ford. No look up lists it as such, so you might as well call it by the correct term. It is like looking up parts for a 96 F350 duramax. they are both diesel but they do NOT mean the same thing
