Flatbed Sizing: CA Measurements Explained

If you’re ordering a flatbed body for your pickup or cab chassis, you need to know your truck’s cab-to-axle (CA) measurement — the distance from the back of the cab to the center of the rear axle. Standard CA ranges for popular trucks:

Ford F-350 SRW: 56″ CA (Regular Cab), 60″ CA (SuperCab), 60″ CA (Crew Cab Short Box)
Ford F-450/F-550: 60″–84″ CA depending on cab and configuration
Ram 3500 SRW/DRW: 56″–84″ CA range

Service Bodies and Crane Bodies for Abilene Contractors

For contractors, oilfield operators, and utility fleets in West Central Texas, a service body is often a better choice than a flatbed.
