Overall, I bet thousands of trucks have been dragged out of fields, just to convert down to a short bed and enjoy. those truck otherwise may still be sitting in that field, (or worse, end up in a pick-n-pull yard)
Every longbed that gets shortened may put one more truck back on our roads when it could have easily suffered a fate of rotting away or worse, being sold to China to become a new waffle maker, only to be resold back to us......

If it helps keep these trucks on the road and out of wrecking yards, I am all for it.

Do I still have the I6/3OTT? Not exactly.
