Some people don't like long beds and some people don't like "flourescent green trucks with 22 inch rims". To each his own. Mine used to be a long bed, but I definalty like it better as a short bed. It's like the difference between a 2-door and a 4-door '57 Chevy. Sure the 4-door's are cool, but the 2-doors are much cooler (in my opinion). Just a matter of taste. I wouldn't let it bother you. All that matters is that YOU like it.
Although I think yours would be cooler if were a short bed!
