SuperCab is available on chassis cab F450.

The 450 "pickup truck" historically has only been available as a crew-cab, long-bed, dual-wheel, 4x4, diesel vehicle. Just the way it is.

Don't forget, if you order a cab and chassis, they're derated considerably on HP and torque, have considerably stiffer suspension (as in, it really doesn't move), and I would assume it will be geared a lot lower than a pickup model, as is the case on a 350.

Also don't forget the frame is NOT fully boxed behind the cab on a chassis cab......flexy flexy.

You can actually get a 4.10 axle on a diesel 450 chassis cab, which is taller gearing than the pickup.

All very interesting. So if a guy should want a good riding capable truck with wide track and a tow body he is basically screwed?

You would just need to buy the pickup version and remove the bed. No getting away from crew cab though...

That's exactly what I'm doing. Just ordered a new 350 supercab DRW pickup. I will remove the bed and install my own, and then just put the pickup bed back on down the road when I trade it in. I made the mistake of ordering a cab/chassis once.....worst riding truck ever made lol. But I understand it was made to haul a lot more weight than I haul. I just haul a lot of 'stuff' and not necessarily a lot of weight.

That does not work for body builders who need a C channel frame. That is the reason chassis cabs are built that way.
