Understand that the F-450
pickup comes only as a CrewCab diesel with 4.30 limited slip axle and the 8' bed. If you want a shorter F-450, or a gasser, then you have to find an F-450 ChassisCab and add a bed of some sort that will accept a 5er hitch, or at least a gooseneck hitch. The F-450 chassis cab comes with any of the three cabs, but the shortest cab-to-axle length is a couple of inches longer than a longbed pickup.
The F-350 DRW has a lot more choice in configuration - regular cab, SuperCab or CrewCab, gas or diesel engine, and your choice of open or optional LS axle.
Just for grins, I built a 2016 F-450 chassis cab SuperCab gasser on Ford.com. If I wanted a SuperCab gasser, this is it:
