The truck does look nice. It looks like it is normal length after the fenders.

My bed was long on both ends, and I wanted another short stepside.

The longer long bed is going to be a utility trailer.

My 71 is a long fleetside and will always stay that way.

It will most likely get lower in the future and that ugly barden bumper on the rear will get gone!

Why yes I did Borrow away!

It gives your cherry picker another dimension.

I've seen electric winches before but an electric "wench" is something new on me. Inflatable too?

Well, I can't stop and edit but that electric winch is one slick idea and addition to a cherry picker.

I've got a similar one on my sailboat to pull the mast up and let it back down and it has paid it's keep times over as it turns a real tedious task into a two minute deal after i have it set up and ready to go.

I got this one at HF on sale. It has a remote key fob as well. And it's camouflaged so it can't be seen against the orange boom!

obviously i like the fender mounted spares too, gives you room to move the fuel tank.

Agreed
