That just does not look right.
Not in a bad way, just that long bed on the Supercrew is something my mind can't process. Once painted the same color it will probably flow better though.
Still an ambitious project that will be one of a kind.
That front end seems to be sitting high compared to the rear. I am guessing the torsion bars are cranked on it?
Are you going to have to do a custom driveshaft? Maybe a 2wd long bed supercab driveshaft would work?
edit: never mind on the second half of my post. I forgot your doing a SFA so the ride height will not matter and a complete drivetrain swap with new rear axle will mean a custom driveshaft.

We have a place called power drive here they do awesome stuff with drive shafts
Ive found its way cheaper to have one shortened i got a rear drive shafts out of a 06 f350 crewcab long bed dually 2wd which is waay to long so once i get my engine swap and axles done ill get my measerements for drive shafts then get them made ....shorten and balance usually runs about 80 bucks ...but i always have them do new joints another 80... this will be my first one with carrier bearing so im thinking another 80ish so im thinking 250ish
The front is the one that bothers me

Do the long beds on the 10th gen have a carrier bearing or are you going to have to fab a mount for that too (not that it really matters with everything else your fab'ing)?
The front one, well, once you get it all together and measured, you may be able to find something that fits, or close enough to get modified vs all new. The good thing is you can drive it with just the rear, so the front shaft will not be a hold up in driving it.

Its 23 feet tip of bumper to tip of bumper so it will fit in some garages my uncles garage is 25 x 25 .....but mine is 22 x 18 so not even close .......and yes a enclosed goose neck trailer for my race car ..is the plan and i could of got a 4x4 f250 or f350 long bed crew but i couldnt see stuffing a cummins in a truck that cost 4 to 10k with a bad engine .. i have kids so i had to have a crew and have a lot of stuff so i had to have a long bed so i decided to build this ... i think a 6 foot box would look awesome as well though
