Default Bed and cab configurations

The other day I saw a short wheel base f150 (normally for reg cab 6.5 foot bed). This one had a supercab and a 5.5 foot bed on the short wheel base. It looked really... messed up. Was that something you could order? Anybody else seen any weird bed and cab configurations? I don't know much about the newer trucks, so I hope that's not a dumb question!

they arent all that common but you will see one every so often, couple guys on here have them. I kind of like the way they look as long as they arent lifted. stock height i like.

The one I saw looked like it had a leveling kit, and it's rear end was sagging pretty bad. Made the bed look even smaller than it actually was.

They did away with the SuperCab + 5.5' box configuration after 2009 (or was it 2010...), except the Raptors automatically come with 5.5' bed whether scab or screw. Personally I like the looks of scabs with 6.5' and screws with 5.5' but that's just my taste

I absolutely hate the look of a Supercab with a 5.5' bed. They look stupid and not proportional.

I like the looks of a regular cab short bed. I think it just looks tougher with bigger tires. I'm also biased because that's what I have.
