I trying to find out is Ford is planning to build an F-450 or 550 crew cab with a longer (CA)cab to axle distance such as 84" to allow for a 12' state body. The current max (ca) is 60". I would even take a F-450 Supercab if they offered it. If they are planning to build the truck I need, when?

 

According to the Year 2000 Ford Fleet Vehicle Guide that I have, there will be three new added-starter wheelbases with delayed availability. They are as follows:

165" wheelbase, 84" CA for 19,000 GVW, F-550 (regular cab).

189" wheelbase, 108" CA for 15,000 and 17,500 GVW, F-450/550 (regular cab).

201" wheelbase, 84" CA for 15,000 and 17,500 GVW, F-450/550 (crew cab).

Hope this helps.
