According to wikipedia:

Regular cab long bed wheelbase is 133"
Extended cab short bed wheelbase is 138.8"

Like he stated. There's about four inches difference. I was going to put an extended cab short box on a f250 single cab long box. Saved myself the hastle and did a cab swap. Still gotta find a new box. But much easier

you could always weld 4" of bed in. then you could say you had the only 8'4" ford bed in the world.

I think you guys are missing the part where he said they are both shortbeds.

BrendenMarquis

And you missed the part where he said long box :p

That I did.

Why would you rather a single cab over an extended? Just trying to find some pros and cons for you

Layne Brooks

no real reason for a single cab over extended other than i like the look better just personal prefrence but i had thought of either shortening the fram of extending a bed
