Crew Cab Short Bed

Does Any One Know The First Year Ford Offered A Crew Cab(4 Dr) Short Bed Configuration? I Know The 1996 F250 Offered This Config, But Supposedly Not The F350.

I know of an original 75-or earlier (judgeing from the grill and suspenion) F250 4x4 shortbox that resides in my home town.

So that's at least back to '75.

They were available in the mid 70's, and then went away for like twenty years....and came back in the 90's....now all of those had 6.5 foot beds.....5.5 foot beds came in 97 with the F-150

they had them in the 60s (like 65) and they never went away.....any crew 4x4 will have a short bed untill about the 80s when they started offering 4x4 crew long beds. any crew long bed untill the 80s will be 2wd, unless it is custom.
