I have an 8' bed on my '77 F250 Supercab, I'm sure someone probably just threw the bed on yours at some point over the past 35 years

Just because your truck was sold as a "cab/chassis" doesn't mean that the truck was built as a dually! We order tons of cab/chassis SRW "bed delete" trucks at my work.

I would bet that your truck was sold that way and somewhere down the road the truck was turned back into a pickup with a simple bed swap.

He says it's SETUP FOR DRW... but currently it has SRW so he can still add a dual rear wheel if he wanted to...

it doesn't matter, the D70 for those years was the same width for dually as for single.
