Re: unproportionate craigslist truck????
Looks like a longbed shorten to shortbed length on the front half only.

Re: unproportionate craigslist truck????
Dumpster Art!
Either they cut too much out of the wheelbase or put it on a blazer frame but that looks like a trazer length wheelbase with a longbed bobbed only at the front

Re: unproportionate craigslist truck????
I agree guys....that is totally screwed up no matter how they did it. Looks like too much beer played a role on this truck.

Re: unproportionate craigslist truck????
I actually had one like that. I picked one up real cheap that I knew was shortened and I always thought something looked funny.
A guy down the street had a short bed and I measured his truck bed and it was an inch longer. I'll see if I can dig up some pics in a minute. |

Re: unproportionate craigslist truck????
I saw one out here where they did the opposite...just bobbed the back end; it looked way out of proportion with the LWB frame length unchanged. This one looks better IMO because they shortened the wheelbase and just left the back as-is.

Re: unproportionate craigslist truck????
Here is the only picture I have that shows the side at all. I know my wifes camera had some. I'll see if she can find them tomorrow. I was going to restore this truck until I realized it was shortened an inch too much. For the best though, I have a better truck now.
