Re: Beaten to death - Long vs Short.

For practical reasons - a long bed is always the best.

My daily is a shortbed squarebody - it was sketchy trying to bring home LONG pieces of lumber or siding or pipe.

Having said that, I like shortbeds; I've cut down three trucks so far:

'77 Chevy - Long to short
'61 Chevy - Long to short
'78 F-100 - Long to Bronco
