Uh... All I see in that listing is a red 1987-91, extended cab F-250 with a standard 8-foot bed. White one is from the same years, single cab 8-foot bed.

No clue where he got the 1985 from.

Nope, that is indeed a short bed. I had to go back and reference some side shots that I have and there is less body between the front of the bed box and rear wheel well on that one versus a long bed.

Extended cab short beds were pretty rare, but not as rare as the crew cab short bed.

So they did make short bed bricknoses? I may have to get a loan and go buy it an paint it white to match my 96[emoji23]
An ya it threw me off at first to I thought it may have just been the way it looked but it's definitely a short bed

The only short-bed trucks built before 1996 were F-150's. I'm guessing this guy either swapped 3/4 ton axles and an IDI drivetrain (maybe the drivetrain came out of the parts truck) or shortened an F-250 frame to put an F-150 short bed on.
