I was wondering the same thing. Short box, regular cab F350's were not factory, but that is a SWEET lookin ride! It's the wonder I haven't seen it cruising around town!!!

judging by the low miles you may have a better chance of winning the lotto!

Thanks guys my father did the conversion in 91 he had an 88 f 350 diesel reg cab long box when me and my brother were born he needed more room. So he bought a branD new 91 f 150 xlt lariat and swaped the diesel dash cluster in the f 150 and the f 150 body was transplanted on the 88 f 350 frame and running gear. It wasnt hacked everything had to be perfect it had a body lift and 44s on it before but i have a 7 month old so it sits on 35s. Thanks for the compliments guys. Oooo and forgot to mention my dad was the one who had the truck as a garage queen its my daily now so im sure youll see it around sometime i live down st margarets bay

But a reg cab long box is 133" wheel base
a Supercab short bed is 139" wheel base so something is off, something had to be cut and welded between the rear spring hanger and the rear cab mount

Every time I've seen it done, all they did was move the rear axle back a little, never any frame cutting.


I can't really tell from the pictures, but it looks like his rear tires aren't centered in the cutout.

But you cant just run a supercab on a reg cab frame, the frame humps up and the cab would hit, you need to run a body lift to clear the frame.

Besides, it is not hard to add 4" of frame

it does have a body lift

You have better eyes than me. I see no evidence of a body lift

 

[mabc926]

I don't think it has a body lift, you can't even see the frame under the cab.

And the bumper gap looks stock.


I don't know how this truck was done, but I'd like to know

It "HAD" a body lift when it had 44s on it
