Wheel bases???
Does anyone know the wheel bases on the '87-'96 truck? Specifically I'm looking for the 250/350 std cab/longbed, crew cab (4 door) short bed. I would like to get all the different lengths if they are handy. Thanks for your help, Bill

For example, when I replaced my center support bearing for my driveshaft, I bought the one for an F150 with a 2 piece driveshaft (yes, like my truck). Got it home, would not fit over the slip yoke... Hmmmmm.... Took it back to NAPA and brought the driveshaft, he tried an F250 support bearing and it fit like a glove... So I guess I have an F250 driveshaft?! NOBODY KNOWS!!! I called Centurion but they have since been bought out by Southern Comfort and their techs there know NOTHING about the older Centurion custom jobs, the tech was a dumba$$. Nice move on their part eliminating any employees of Centurion who knew anything about these older jobs.... 
Very frustrating having a truck that does not exist in the books.... But thats also why I love it so much :-)

I want to make mine a crew cab, and not stretch the frame, just cut the bed to about 3.5'. It's a 2wd, and I found a 4" Fabtech suspension lift which I'm also going to install, I think it'll be pretty cool looking

Your truck should be around 160" or so, the supercab long bed is 155 so your crewcab short bed should be 160 at least that is what the F350 crewcab short bed was. but of course yours could be a little different because it is a centurion and that number may be + or - a few inches.
