As We all know, looks are objective.

Personally, I think the 5.5' Box makes a truck look out of proportion. The cab is larger than the box.

i just wish they'd make a F150 s'crew with the 8' box also... i'm a carpenter and more often than not i could use an extra 1.5 feet of box space!!

Is there any thing but an 8' box on a pickup truck? I haul stuff,feed,hay,sheep,auto parts,scrap metal, dead deer/geese and just about anything else I can put my hands on. Can you see me with 6.5' or 5.5' box, it just would not work. Chris

Yeah, I'd go for a SCrew/8' But it's not offered.

Is a Scab/8' even available anymore?

I've tried to build a truck at Fords site. But with our crappy dialup, the site won't load.
