Is GVW the same?
Is the GVW for a short bed the same as a long bed? And what is it for both regardless?
thanks

Re: Is GVW the same?
Man,that`s good question.If I ever knew the answer,I forgot it,lol.It prolly is less since the truck weighs less,a bit.BTW,is the truck in your avatar the one in your signature?What I`m gettin`at is,I was wondering if this is what you wound up buying.I remember you were looking at some nice trucks.And,I really wish I coulda bought your red one.

Re: Is GVW the same?
Actually I had this truck at the time I was looking at a 71. I went to look at it and it was nice but not nice enough for the price. Still hoping to come across a 71-72 SWB 4x4 Cheyenne Super some time in the future.

That`s right,this has been your avatar all along.I remember the truck you were looking at,it wasn`t authentic or something.That would be a perfect pair having a 2wd & 4wd short Fleetsides,like a certain member in GA.I won`t mention any names,but his initials are SeeTen.
