Screw with a 5.5 short box will fit in most people's garages (in fact, there is no difference in the SCAB with the 6.5 box than a SCREW with the 5.5 box)
a 6.4 box on a screw . . well, that might be a little more tighter than you can work with.
That's the main reason I was looking at super cabs vs screws, being able to fit in my garage and still have bed to utilize?
I've had multiple versions from a single cab to the crew. I like the looks and room of the cab of the crews, and I've never had problems with hauling a boat to landscaping/construction materails with the 5.5 bed.
But if it was just myself with no wife, kids or friends that like to ride with me then a single cab would do just fine.
Wow what a beautiful truck, are those just ordinary kig ranch rims or something else? Beautiful truck
I guess I consider myself lucky in that I can fit an F350 dually crew cab with the 8' bed in my garage with room to get around it. I wish I was able to find a Screw with the 6.5' bed. Would have given me a higher payload for towing as well as an extra foot in the back, but I am making due with what I have and haven't had any issues with not enough room. That and I am very happy with my truck and would not want to give it up any time soon.
Custom build 2016 SCAB . not much less room in the back seat than a screw. much more than my 2006 SCAB. rear doors open 180 degrees which solves loading in tight parking spaces. Im a surfer and always changing clothes at the beach, and when you open both doors 90 degrees, it makes a nice private changing room. 6.5 ft bed fits surfboards nicely. also lighter and more nimble than a screw. my full size friends ride in the back comfortably unless Shaq is in the front seat.

Hi, can you post a picture of this truck in your garage; Or is it really a barn? I never have seen a garage that would hold a vehicle that large.

Well I would except I got rid of the truck 4 years ago. I have a 4 car garage that is very deep. Where I used to park it there is now an MKS, in front of it is a 4' deep shelf, and it sits 2' from the front of the car, and the back of the car is 5' from the garage door. The garage tapers towards the other side where I now park my F150, and sitting in front of it is a Craftsman Radial arm saw, and I have about 3-4' between the bumper and the garage door. I had parked the F350 in that spot with 6" of clearance to the garage door. The garage is huge. If I were to get my crap together and clean out the garage(and fill a large dumpster with all the junk accumulated over the years) I could fit 4 vehicles, and both tractors in it.

I used to own a 1995 F250. Riding in the back of that thing for much longer than maybe 10 minutes was painful.
Not so with my newest truck (2013 XLT 5.0L 4x4 SCab). Yes, of course it doesn't have as much space as a SCrew does, but I didn't need the space.
We traded in a 2000 4Runner on the truck; and all I needed was
- a full size truck
- with 4x4
- and a 6.5' bed
- and a powerful engine
- with enough room to carry one kid and some groceries and such in the cab.
The SCab easily handles it, and while it's not *quite* as much room as the SCrew, I've had regular size adults (5'10" 200# guy) tell me that it was plenty comfortable. All I had to do was scoot my seat up maybe 2". In fact, the only thing they complained about was the lack of an armrest. LOL
