Re: Getting some work out of Old Smokey

Yes I have had many newer trucks and Vans over the years , this truck takes the work better then any of them , they all would be sagging and bottoming out when I would load them like this ,I do have air shock in the back and spring assisted shocks in the front but what a great truck for hauling

LWB?

I wish my truck was a lwb so I could carry longer boards.

You are the first person I've ever heard say that. Maybe you will start a new trend and people will start stretching swb trucks, lol.

I usually stand out for one reason or another.

I just think a lwb looks better, always have. Even when I was a kid and I'd look at my truck (then it was my dad's) I would think the front end looked too long for the back.

Long beds haul more too. At some point, when all the lwb's are chopped up, there will be swb's lengthened. Human experience is like that.
