Close but no ceegar here.... 2wd and 2.73 gears. I've got some slightly used 3.55s I've been getting around to putting in if that counts. 
Putting it up for sale too if I ever get around to getting this diesel F350 I bought running....

They do exist, there was recently one for sale locally. It was a 1996. Before I bought my truck was looking for a short box as wellbut they are usually hard to find in decent condition. Why are you looking for a short box? Don't get me wrong I like the look of short box 4x4's but I'm glad I got a long because I have dual tanks and lots a room even with my tool box.

Lots of them out there . In 95 and 96 (I bought new 95 reg cab 5.0 5sd 4x4 ) All the local Pa dealers had the six manual /auto 3.55 gears combo reg to super cab on lot . If you wanted a v8 you had to order it. . I loved the short box . Easy to get around town in . And if put bronco tank in back for extra gallons good to go. good luck

Well I have my F-350 right now, CC and Long Box, but basicaly this F-150 would be my daily driver. I'd put a tool box in it, further killing space but it isn't really for hauling. I'd probably also put a bronco 40gal in.
I basicaly want a truck that I can haul some with, 4wheel some with, and well... I don't want a car and my current DD car is going out the door. With the short box it's a little easier to get around town, and if I need to haul I can use a trailer. If I can't find anything then a long box will work.
I've watched ebay for about a month, havn't found one.
I want the Inline for torque and gas mileage... basicaly a little low end grunt but decent gas mileage. Right now im getting 4.5/10 with my truck... so that inline would be a HUGE improvement and I could actualy afford to drive it.
This truck will last me through college, and will still be a daily driver/work truck after college, when I buy a 97 F-350 CC PSD Long Box to use for hauling/travel.
thanks so far for the help! glad to know it exists

Only 12? thought with 3.55's I might be able to get higher. Really though 12 isn't too bad, however, it would make more sense just to pony up and buy a PSD(reg cab/long) instead, get about the same gas mileage, but better towing + power.
I'll read through the 4.9 gas mileage threads and see what I come up with.

Me again Had a 93 F150 sc beater truck and worked in Pittsburg Pa. This truck got 13 MPG in down town with 3.55 rears. As for 3.55 rears Of the 15 or so F150 /broncos none had anything higher than 3.55 and couple 4.10s . I had a company truck with beleive 3.08 rears (I never worked on it so not sure. ) Six 5 spd it would hardly back up with a light load on. And got lousy milage had to run in 4th all time . Good luck on search
