long bed vs. short bed

[Peregrine]

Since joining this board I've not seen many people express a love of the long bed. I see people converting LBs to SBs all the time and I just don't understand why. I know it's all up to personal preference and that's ok, I was just wondering. I love my long bed. Yeah, as soon as I pull into a parking lot I've scanned the lot and picked out the place that takes the least amount of work to get to, but now I walk the 800 feet to Blockbusrtt from Wal-Mart. It's in the same shopping center anywho. I'm young and I guess I just adapted to it. My dad hates his long bed now cause it's too big to. I just think the LB looks cooler and is better for drag racing (if you were into that kind of thing ) And I know if someone hits me in the bed I'm screwed when it comes to parts. But that's ok. Just wondering what your guys opinions are on it.
