Yep! Room for a toolbox in front of that wheel = Long Bed!

My reply is regarding the frame pic above. The position of the crossmember is located further up on the shortbed. Can you tell me where the differential would sit on this frame? Do you have some more pic's? Different angle maybe.

Maybe I should rephrase that, can you tell me where the differential would sit on the frame in your pic?

Jeremy - I don't think anyone want's to rip on you. I'm pretty sure everyone was wanting to make sure you got what you paid for if you bought it. It's all good, you definitely made everyone look twice,

Would sure be sweet to have a matching bed for a trailer, painted the same way... would probably get lots of shocked looks when the truck bed just kept coming, and coming....
Sure you made someone's day with the good catch

I always thought the same thing. Build a long-bed trailer & paint it to match your truck. You could store all your on the road necessaties when taking a trip or take twice as much w/you. You could even slip some air-bags in place of the coils to treat the cargo better.

sounds like a marketable idea. build custom trailers outa old frames and beds ...sounds like money to me .and atleast your saveing half a truck...if someone wants this guys number pm me and ill give it to ya...jeremy

dubs68SWB · 06-02-2007, 12:53 PM

Boy....it almost looks, from the other angle, like a shortbed on a longbed frame!!!!! People have done stranger things. Just look that the Mexi-C-10 we were ripping on in that other link. If so, that bed is worth some cash.

Well, if it makes you feel any better I actually BOUGHT one (a 60-66 fleet/trailer) and dragged it home thinking it was a shorty. It wasn't until I pulled the camper shell off that I realized it was long. The shell and no cab in front of it does throw you off...

va_tlc · 06-02-2007, 04:52 PM

yep they sure do throw ya off just riding by i saw a umm long... short bed tralier, went home got my brother rode back past he said long bed, anyways hope someone gets it
