ROCK ON LWB LETS SEE THE SWB'S TRY TO HAUL A SHEET OF PLYWOOD!

*Pardue'sCustoms* · 02-25-2003, 12:57 AM

Short is the best

Longhorn Man · 02-25-2003, 12:59 AM

Hmmm, I have both, yet I can't vote for them both....

Gene · 02-25-2003, 01:01 AM

Tailgate down I can haul as much plywoood as any LWB:p

cdowns · 02-25-2003, 01:37 AM

I just recently completed a 1000 mile trip and on the way back i was hauling a 29A roadster body as well as 2 27t bodys and a bunch of other parts all with the tailgate up , can't do that with a shorty on the interstate!!!!

68LSS1 · 02-25-2003, 02:35 AM

The only thing I plan on hauling in my short step is a**

Alexis · 02-25-2003, 03:12 AM

I'm not voting. i enjoy all styles of trucks.

O'l Buck · 02-25-2003, 03:27 AM

gotta love a longbed

sgtjed · 02-25-2003, 05:23 AM

wohoo i tied it 10 to 10

**Palf70Step** · 02-25-2003, 06:31 AM

11 up...nother short for the fire.

mrein3 · 02-25-2003, 08:30 AM

Tailgate down a swb can haul a 8-foot sheet of plywood but with the tailgate down in my lwb I can haul 12-foot sheets of sheetrock. Lets see a swb do that.

smokekiki · 02-25-2003, 09:57 AM

With the rollcage and spare in my blazer I can't haul much of any thing.The burbs interior is to clean.The 70 is a lwb,but it isn't on the road.Thats why I have a trailer so I don't have to worry about my classics.

Black72 · 02-25-2003, 01:12 PM

Another one for the shortbeds

If I feel the need to haul anything as long as my truck I have a 16 foot trailer for that:p

crazy longhorn · 02-25-2003, 02:05 PM

Hey ,you forgot extra long beds......

krazy_texan · 02-25-2003, 02:23 PM

lwb all the way they can do all that a shorty can plus some so ha in your face

73stepside · 02-25-2003, 02:57 PM

lwb's look more proportioned compared to the swb's. plus they have a little more weight on the wheels to get better traction.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-25-2003, 03:10 PM

...this was a poll in which to state what kinda truck you got right? lwb? swb? ? I love 'em all...just wish I had 'em all...and I mean all of 'em
