Looks short to me also. Maybe it's a Bronco frame. What's he going to do for a box??

I have to agree with it being shorter, possibly the bronco frame.

I just had my box off and it makes the truck look a lot shorter. I am not convinced it is shortened.

It does give that illusion don't it. haha

I'm absolutely certain that that's just a plain ol' F100 shortbox frame, not shortened. And with a Bronco frame would place the rear axle a lot closer to the cab. Just take a look at some side pictures of them to compare, you can tell.
