Long WB Short step
Another Kijiji find mot mine. Looks better than the bobbed wide sides, definitely a different way to get a short step. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-image.ht...ationFlag=true

Re: Long WB Short step
It looks good, but why did they reverse the rear fenders?

Re: Long WB Short step
The rear fenders are reversed because the put a short step box on the long wheel base truck and didn't shorten the wheel base. they just hacked the back end of the frame off. Same as this but doesn't look as obvious done this way

Re: Long WB Short step

Re: Long WB Short step
After looking at those fenders on trucks pointing the right way all these years,this truck looks to me like a push me pull you. Like it wants to go both ways. The short little side pipes mounted half under the cab and half under the bed is playing some sort of other trick on my eyes. Three pictures all one side. I wonder what the other side looks like
