I like em' both. It matters more to me how well they are kept up or built. I think when fixed up good, they both look great!

Sorry, gotta go with a longbed. Need to be able to fit sheets of plywood in it and close the tailgate. Now if it was strictly for play, I'd probably say shortbed, less weight to get moving and easier with a one piece driveshaft to get the horses to the ground.

I prefer the long bed myself. It can haul a lot more crap than the shorties. But I would love to get my hands on a short step for the wife. Theae 67-72's looks great, no matter what kind of bed is on them.

I originally preferred the looks of a shorty, but found the long bed more practical for hauling stuff. I thought the long bed looked a bit disproportional to the front end and cab, but a tool box smooths that out a bit. As you can see, I have mixed emotions, but either way, gotta be a fleetside.
