Re: 1 Ton Short Beds ?

I know GM never built SWB 3/4t or 1t trucks because In '77 I went in and tried to order a short bed Stepside K/20 or K/30 and they acted like I was nuts. The salesman ask,"What would you want a truck like that for?" I think he was upset because he thought he had a sale. I'm sure if it was possible he would have made it happen.
One thing's for sure,the factory doesn't cut frames. And even if it was ordered to be a 1 ton it would be a Silverado 30. Sounds like that BSer didn't get his BS straight.
