"fomocoloco"Did ford make a 72 ford f250 4wd short bed? thanks.
I can't answer your question but maybe steer you in the direction of an answer. :pray:
Try looking in the factory literature brochures and one for the 72 year salesman brochures might show it?
I don't believe I ever saw one through the years here? Also maybe send our moderator Greg a PM as he's owned and worked on the highboy's his entire life. :thup:

OK . Technically my 1967 F262 truck originally came with the long bed but it had the short wheel base with it. I checked the numbers on the frame with the tag as it came with a six , four speed and 4.56 gears. I have finally begun to work on it after way too many years. My son and I just rebuilt the 390 I installed back in 84 to replace the old 6 it came with..
Used to race and beat Porsches off the line ain the 80's nd once carried 2-1/2 tons of damaged bricks up some hills to the dump to see if I could overload it . Had picture of me and it 5-6 feet up in the air but I lost the pic.
Saved my life too but that's a different story,,,
