[67ChevyRedneck]

A very high percentage of these trucks will never haul anything more than a cooler in the bed. Shortbeds are a "hot" item right now. It's also easy to convert a shortbed to longbed (you can either cut the frame and buy a complete brand new repop bed, or you can shorten the frame and box.) Not many people use or haul with these trucks anymore. Heck, people don't even use new trucks for that anymore. I've driven several longbeds and several shortbeds, not much of a difference at all in handleing. I personally like the shorties and long beds, but fleetside only. I'm a sucker for a shortbox stepside (sorry longbed stepside guys, but I find them kinda ugly).


Your question has no real answer other than asthetics. You might as well also ask do you prefer an I6 or V-8, auto or manual, stepside or fleetside, gmc or chevy, stock or modifeid, lowered or stock height...the list goes on and on.

EDIT: I understand what you mean though. I have I think 6 or 7 original ads for the 67 trucks and every single truck shown is a longbed fleetside. Also, a higher percentage of fleetside trucks sold were longbeds.
