[70cst]

I guess I am more a purist in the 67-72 trucks. I really want to build a truck true to what it was new and only improve things in the name of safety (disk brakes, suspension, ect). So in relationship to short versus long, what would the end value difference be? (thats why I said on an equally optioned truck like a cheyenne)

If you took a SWB and compared it to a LWB with identical options...normally the SWB might bring a little more money. I have a 70cst LWB with a lot of factory options and it will be completing a 12 month resto in about a month. I like the LWB because everybody seems to be fixing up SWB trucks. I am keeping my truck as close to factory as possible except I switched out the brakes, suspension, steering box and will have 16" Torque Thrust wheels. As has been said...buy what makes you happy. There is a saying that is going around, "Rare doesn't make it desirable" or even in some cases more valuable. I guess I like all 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks. LWB or SWB, loaded with options or bare bones...they are all sweet.

If I do get a nicely optioned long bed, should i take it before considering a no or low optioned short fleet of the same caliber of build need?

Another point...If I had a choice between a SWB with low options and a LWB fully loaded with options for the same $$$....LWB hands down. Read the link below and it will also give you some insite to these great ICONS that we own and drive.
