Short Bed or Long Bed

I imagine that most would prefer a Short Bed. But, who knows, we may all be in for a surprise. I prefer a Long bed myself, but i could be prejudiced.....

By-the-way, compliments on OLDRED's '67 Short Bed. Hope he doesn't mind me using his beautiful truck as the illustration.

If its a nice longbed truck,it wont be for ever,it will get a short frame and box.not a long fan,but of course i dont dislike them.

For a hot rod, like what is pictured, I'll have to say shortb ed, but I think I have to agree with my wife (for once) and say a short step would look better than either of those pics.

I think I'm the oddball I like lwb slammed and swb lifted

Long beds anyday. Shortbeds are too stubby looking, the box is totally out of proportion with the cab. As far as Shortboxes being a better rod, that is only a matter of opinion.

There are a couple of long beds running around Garland that are clean & mostly original that I like alot but my first choice would be shorts. I would like to make a long dually that's slammed one of these days.

Longbed is more practical, you can't fit a cord of wood in a shorty. I realize we're not all here to use our trucks like trucks, but.. :)

racedvl 06-15-2002 06:15 PM

Hhhhmmmm, no longhorn option?

For an everyday truck, I'd have to say long. For a toy, I'll take a short bed (maybe even a short step):)

Longhorn Man 06-15-2002 11:29 PM

race-n-jason 06-16-2002 12:04 AM

I had a friend in new mexico, had a longbed like myself. He had a personalized license plate that read:

"So Long"

That about says it for me, too.....

Short Fleet! Or a longhorn! One for play one for worK!

Baradium 06-16-2002 03:47 PM

long bed, or longhorn.... I'd love a longhorn but still havn't found any that are affordable here... I don't really disklike short beds, I'd like one, but I won't shorten a long into one.

Bowtie468 06-16-2002 04:04 PM

:bowtie: Shortbeds for a streetrod, longbeds on a 4x4. But i still prefer shorties !! :flag:

72 Super 06-16-2002 04:12 PM

Well I have one of each,but I definity like the longbed better.Maybe thats because I grew up around the 72 cheyenne longbed that my father bought brand new :)

But I like em all in any style stock,modified,lowered ,lifted.
