143.5 inch wheelbase

I have a 89 F250 reg cab 2 wd with a 143.5 inch wb,all the information I have here lists a lot of different wheelbases but mine isn't one of them. Could it be a low volume version meant for export (Australia) or is it available in the U.S. as well.

Just a thought, but maybe its a cab and chassis wheel base.

I'm pretty sure the ambulance conversion imports did come in as a bare cab chassis, and it wouldn't surprise me if they came without the parts that aren't used in the right hand drive conversion, the dash, firewall section, steering box and column etc. if not there is probably lots of new discarded left hand drive parts in some store room at the Ford commercial assembly plant in Brisbane. Is there a whole new set of cab/chassis wheelbases for me to take into account that aren't normally included in parts catalogues?
