Re: Craigslist score. Shortbed!
I don't know about less work, but around here its waayy cheaper and easier to get a longbed truck than a shortbed. I plan on going the same route, but I may shorten the bedsides too.

I was considering shortening my bed but this was way cheaper & easier & my pass bedside is not too nice. I just have to decide on the floor. The new stuff is wood floor & my old bed is metal but needs a bit of rust repair. Thinking of seeing if a newer bed floor will work with not much hassle...

Re: Craigslist score. Shortbed!
Nice find. What is the advantage of a short bed? Certainly not for a work truck.
