Does what I'm looking for exist?

Greetings Dentside fans,

I currently own a 2004 F250SD SC 4x4 with the world famous 6.0PSD. I'm just about done paying the loan off on it and am looking to get rid of it later this year. I was originally looking at a 78 or 79 Bronco until I discovered that they are too short to tow a trailer with without special hitches and luck. As such I'm looking to basically get the 70s version of what I have now with a couple differences:

F250 (may consider 350) SuperCab
Shortbed
4x4
V8
Manual transmission
Single rear wheel

Big thing I'm noticing looking at Dentsides is the shortbed seems to be super rare on the SuperCab trucks. Was this an acctual option or are those rare examples custom one off builds?

What are you towing? A Bronco with a 400 is a decent tow vehicle.

The bumper hitch isn't great, but after 38 years, a lot of these have been fitted with a frame-mounted receiver hitch.

Only 4x4 supercabs were 8' beds.
