[ThreeQtr]

Find a couple clean pictures and post them in the photoshop area.

Make sure the pics are similiar to scale and angle. Could even take 3/4 longbed pic and shorten it to scale.

Actually I have done a lot of the requests in the photoshop section. Photoshop is kind of a hobby for me. Thats why I said the 4x4s are good too. lol your onto me. . .

Before anybody gets mad for what Im gonna say Im not calling anybody out or saying that you dont know what you are talking about.................Putting 8 lug wheels on a 1/2ton truck dont make it a 3/4 ton. The GVRW has more to it than the size axles that are under it. Ive seem plenty of 4x4's with Rockwells and they arent 2 1/2 ton trucks. The frame, suspension, and axles all contribute to the GVRW of the truck. I have a Ford 4x4 thats at the deer lease and has 5 lug axles but the title shows it to be a 3/4 ton. As stated by someone above, most dont have a short 3/4 ton due to the harshness of the heavier suspension. The shorter wheel base would also be less stable when hauling heavy loads which was the reason behind having a heavier truck. Now days you have soccer moms that feel the need to have a jacked up 4x4 diesel so 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks are more of a status symbol now.

Now with all that being said, the shorty 3/4's above look very cool and I would drive either and bow my chest out. Cant even say that I would not built one it I had a shortbed.

Again if this offended anyone it wanst meant to and you should probaly not wear your feelings on your sleeve.

Ive built a few 3/4 ton shortbeds..

I bought a c20 to haul heavy loads if I ever want to and work. So u will never see mine shortened what's the point on a 20. My opinion the trucks look nice don't get me wrong but seems like a kinda thing that should just be on c10s
