It's the mentality. The D44 is excellent if you don't plan to do anything extreme like mud bogs or run 50-inch tires.

The D44 in the truck I am building was used as a snow plow. The springs are sacked and the axle will need to be gone through anyway. I figure if I can find a D60 I might as well go that route. The problem with finding one locally is that 90% were used as a ranch truck, they were actually used in 4wd. Sometimes left in 4wd-forgetting to turn out the hubs. Thanks again for everyon's help.

There are no long bed 4WDs, and as you pointed out, all long beds 4WDs were customs/hacks jobs.

I posted facts from Ford and you still didn't want to believe there were no F-350 4x4 crewcabs. Having Jermafenser post something about it shouldn't of changed anything.
Fordrealdrive both of those pieces of literature state there is only one wheelbase, 150.3". The only way you could get a longbed crewcab was in an F-350 2wd version.

Jeez! a guy takes some time off and he misses all the fun!
My 77 crew has a lp d60...is a long bed, BUT it was stretched.
My 74 crew also had a lp d60...short bed.
My 78 crew has a hd 44...short bed
The '77 crew cab 4x4 long bed may have a Hp D60 up front and a D70 in the back if all goes as planned and I think I will get 400 badges for it, because it will be a heavy 1 ton...made by me, well actually modified by me!

Here you go. Page 32 from the official FORD MOTOR COMPANY Salesman's fact book. Take notice that it goes from F-250 Crewcab 4x4 to an F-350 standard cab 4x4 and an F-350 Supercab 4x4. There is no listing for an F-350 crewcab 4x4. If you want to see page 33 I'll scan it in but it is not relevant to this.

Next fact for you, page 26 from the official FORD MOTOR COMPANY Salesman's fact book:
Larger version: http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/748216_1
Now what you'll notice on this page is that it only lists an F-250 crewcab 4x4, no F-350 4x4 crewcab.

faxonautolit.com sells original salesman's fact books, sales brochures, owners and shop manuals, accessory brochures and a bunch of other related jazz for these trucks.
