F350 with a 10' bed

I'm guessing this is a custom stretched box... F350 10' dually. The bed side body lines match but the tailgate and rear lights are dentside era.

Not particularly pretty, but it would sure carry a lot!

Maybe on a Supercab frame?

Gary, my bet is that this is a cab and chassis truck to start with. A Supercab wheelbase is close but just a tad short, and there were not very many F350 DRW Supercabs. If you notice, the DRW also looks pretty narrow, wheels seem recessed within the flares. This is consistent with the narrower cab and chassis frame. A lot of guys make a DRW with a CnC rear axle, tub the bed and only need to add small off-road style fender flares in the rear instead of the big fiberglass ones. Here is another 10' conversion, look at the rear wheels inside the fenders:

Makes sense, Jonathan. Thanks for the explanation.

And the narrower rear axle width would make a more friendly truck to park.
