Does anyone know in which year Ford came out with the first F150 or F250 Extended cab, short box, 4 x 4. I would like to find one to restore and customize.

Thanks for any and all help.

Brian

 

The Supercab was introduced in 1975

It didn't come in a 4x4 model only a 2x4.

ford first made the supercab in mid 74, not many left, but I had one. I don't think they made them 4x4 until 78, at least I have not seen an earlier one, and no 4x4 short bed super's till the 80's, not sure when though.

 

Actually Ford did offer a Short Bed extended cab. I junked out a '78 F150 Supercab, Short Bed. It had dual tanks even. Not sure when they started though.

78 F250 Ranger XLT Supercab 4x4
460, C6, NP205, D44, D60, 4.10's, 33x12.50x16.5 tires

71 Bronco, 302, C4, PS, PDB (1/2 complete with rebuild)

 

The shortbed 6 1/2' was available in 75.

I don't have a 74 brochure,but he 75 brochure says it the NEW supercab.

It's time for more research,I guess.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Nov-02 AT 04:50 PM (EST)]My old super cab was a shortbed, 1974, and it was an f-100. I did not think they made them then, until I found this one, they did not make 4x4 supercab's shortbed's till the 80's, i have never seen a 4x4 supercab before 78 though, they might have made them, ford did alot of weird things.

 

 

Mine is a 74 and it is a supercab ranger xlt w/ a 390 and a c6 auto (yuk)
