Re: Shorten or not ? Cheyenne Super long bed to a short bed

I wouldn't cut it, but I don't buy cut up trucks and non-matching titles. I prefer to buy a truck that actually matches the VIN and SPID sheet, not a fake truck. Some guys don't care of course and it may not matter in their area legally either, but original is better and this is one that I'd leave alone. You had a high bid of $5600 on ebay and that's a good price for that truck. It can be sold easy enough I'm sure if the price is right and I deff wouldn't modify any vehicle for a potential buyer unless they had a deposit or most of the money in hand to start. But to modify one and do all the work, the price then jumps and it may not really be worth the time and effort if you can get $5000-6000 for that truck as is.

Re: Shorten or not ? Cheyenne Super long bed to a short bed

Go to Craig's List and just look at the number of ads for what once were perfectly good trucks (many of them shorties, too) that are now dismantled and nothing but piles of parts. The landscape is littered w/them. I'd strongly recommend that you find and cut up one of those before you take apart another perfectly good truck. As far as I'm concerned, long beds rule, and the only shortie I'll ever own is the 68 that I've had for 32 years. Some are motivated by money and thank goodness I'm not one of them.

Re: Shorten or not ? Cheyenne Super long bed to a short bed

Thanks guys for all the input. I chose to leave the truck as an original long bed. Turns out a guy from Avon Colorado was looking for this exact truck. He picked it up yesterday. So all you tire kickers and dreamers can move on this Cheyenne Super is already gone.
