Re: Does anyone like the look of this truck?

I think the truck looks decent with the later model bed. But, like everyone says, it's a personal opinion. I tend to favor the lines of the factory beds and I've have both fleet and steps over the years.

For that matter, what do you guys prefer, a SWB or a Short Step-Side?

For the first time in forever, not a single 67-72 Chevy truck, Blazer, or Suburban on the property! Basically retired and getting the new Motorhome ready for some traveling. Doing a bit of work on the house getting it ready to sell! LOL!!

Haven't heard this one in a while..
SWB is short wheel base.

That truck looks decent since it is black, and the points that don't line up properly are harder to see, same reason the squared off wheel wells don't look so bad on a truck that has rounded wheel wells.
However, those beds generally don't look good on these trucks.
They look great on 88 - 98 trucks though.

agreed...this truck plays it off pretty good. wasn't there a truck where someone had made the rear wheel openings rounded like the front?
