Rare Combination?

I saw this truck at the wally world earlier. I can tell its a 92-97 F-350 (yes 350) 2wd XL Crewcab Shortbed, Gasser (small tailpipes no bumper vents) with 7 LUG WHEELS (counted them several times). Looked really Odd and didnt look homemade either looked factory.

looks like someone put a crew cab on a reg cab frame and shortened the box. the wheel wells are just too close to the cab to be stock. a good body man can shorten a bed and make it look stock without breaking a sweat. as far as it being a gasser, there were f350's with the 460 gas motor

Go figure 250 LD and HD and Base.
Never saw those caps in 7 lug.

Looks like the trucks you see at the airport.
