This last weekend, I had to haul a couch up to my parents' cabin at Donner Summit. Then haul the old one home. I also brought up a couple bikes, pressure washer, weed-wacker, etc. Its nice to be able to close the tailgate.

1967 LWB step side took this pic just last week after replacing upper control arms and cutting a coil out, figured I go ahead and put in the correct core support while I was at it. She isn’t bug eyed anymore thank goodness. Looks a ton better. And that’s my little helper.

Running a little rich up there Joe?!?!? Great pics. Happened by your house in Roseville a few weeks back (saw your truck). Been looking for some real estate in the area and just driving around. NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!!!!LOL!

I really like your truck mixermike. She's beautiful

leftybass209 · 03-25-2013, 12:15 AM

A lot of these trucks are beautiful! I used to dislike long beds, but there's no denying a great looking truck! Threads like these really changed my mind on these trucks. No way I'll get rid of my shorty though.

We all know that short beds are a few feet short of a real truck.

prairewolf · 09-03-2011, 05:34 AM

a favorite picture of our 67, ...I think I got hooked on long beds about 14 yrs ago, I had an 83 f150 longbox 4x4 extended cab, ... I lived about 10 miles west of where I worked. 5 miles of gravel. .... I could go about 80 and the truck felt very stable, if it had been a shortbox I think I probably would have rolled it.. not bragging, just remembering..... I do not drive like that anymore. ..... Marriage, Son and better time management helped all of that

p.s ..all very nice trucks posted, but the Ed Miller Drag Truck that special-K posted could almost give me goosebumps.

thanks for listening, .. life and goosebumps are good,kent

hayhauler71 · 09-03-2011, 06:12 PM

heres mine had it for 27 years

GRX · 09-04-2011, 05:05 AM

Nothing like being able to haul building supplies like 2x4's and plywood sheets IN the bed, not hanging off the back. Long beds rule!
