Did ford make a supercab short box 4x4?

EDIT: after looking at the 1st pick i realized this is an 80'2 running gear.. Dump that POS TTB set up

If your dash pad is crack free I would love to buy it!

If my eyes don't deceive me........Package up that tilt column as well.

Did you swap in a TTB front or put a dentside body on an '80's rolling chassis?

Its an 85 F-350 Chassis. Everything has been rebuilt or new. It was a reg cab chassis, I put the supercab body on and cut the box to fit.

Shanes66 I Think I have a spare green dash pad that's mint

I think it looks pretty darn good.
Sure it is an 85 F350 though? I thought the 350 in 85 was the first year of the solid axle Dana 60 and the TTB 50 was under the 250's? Faded memory I guess, I was never good at remembering.
Still a nice looking truck.

K I'm not positive.........Cab was rolled, I scrapped it and rebuilt the chassis. Plunked in a 429.

I really like the short bed on this truck. The supercabs just look too long.

The late 85's had the D60. Early ones had the POS D50

That is a 133" wheel base? Looks awefully long. The f350 only came in reg cab 8' bed in 4x4
