^ Im not saying shortbeds cant haul, im saying long beds NORMALY haul. You never see a long bed drag car or what ever, but you see alot of short beds. BTW you do have a pretty truck. I like how it matches your boat.

Well im not saying theres NO LONGBED drag trucks. Im just saying, you go to the local drag way. What are you most LIKELY to see, a short bed drag truck, or a long bed drag truck. The way we are arguing about long beds and short beds is funny There both cool, both can haul You can drag, drop, jack, burnout, wheelie, you name it you can do in a long bed or a short bed. It matters what YOU like, everybody on the forum does NOT have to like your truck.

Now, now fellas.....we all know that size does matter when getting the job done. While shortbeds are "cute"...like Chevy Luvs and what-not, they simply can't compete when it counts.

Really, is there anything sadder than a classic case of envy concerning length?

It's ok...y'all shortbed guys keep telling yourself us longbed lovers wanna be jes' like you. We'll let you convince yourself that this truly is the case if it makes you feel better. It's jes' like havin' a li'l brother....where ya gotta assure him he's jes' as strong as you are, even though he's clearly built on a smaller frame.

I believe that a shortbeds desireability comes from its uniqueness, in that not enough people ever wanted them to ever make them in large numbers. You know, like Edsels and AMC Pacers. I liken the fad to that of the Mini- Pinschers.... looking like a version of a more powerful dog, only smaller. SWB trucks look almost like a truck....only smaller.

Don't get me wrong....SWB trucks are adorable. I like that thing that looks like a truck bed right behind the cab.....reminds me so much of an El Camino.
Why...it must hold at least 3, maybe 4 suitcases?: It was the soccer-mom weekend truck before they invented soccer moms.

My granny used to have one to haul her groceries. I believe she got 6 or 7 bags back there.

LOL.....there's some funny stuff in there.

Quite frankly the only thing that matters to me right now is:

The Ducks are playing for the BCS Championship Jan 10th!!!!!!

Sorry if your team was one of the ones we crushed!!!!

Except when it comes to magazine coverage, truck show trophies, and resale value.

Well it sucks to be you because there are some dang nice long bed trucks out there. And I own a very long long box, so get over it.

It seems a lot of people are haters. I just want one of each because I like them all, and surely can't afford 3 or 6 of this body style right now.

It sucks to be me because I don't like something that YOU think is cool.??
boy thats makes tons of sense,,, I have seen the light!!!

I'm not being a" hater", I just have no desire at all to ever own a lwb, They are seriously disproportional, and just look plain dumb....sorry longbed owners. Thats my opinion, like I said to each his own, that's what makes the world go round!!

[prostreetC-10]

Okie Truck....I'm totally just having fun with you!!!

Leddzepp.....another nice play. My cheeks hurt!

[treveiger]

BOTH swb and lwb trucks are awesome IMO, i have a lwb because i plan on useing it for work and like the fact i always will have enough room for my needs... I like swb trucks to but id want one more for fun and screwing around, my lwb truck will be my D.D driver in the summer and when my car goes whatever truck i can find for a good price ill get because these trucks are awesome either way.

Itsa 60 footer. But you'll never pick out the flaws if I'm doin' 90 on the freeway.

I can squeeze one of these in the bed though.

Holy crap.....I had to take a second look at the pic of the bike. For a minute I thought you had house slippers on!!!! LOL!!!!!

EXACTLY!!! I don't know why everything is sooooo funny to me today. I'm not even on the "mary jane"!! Man my guts and cheeks hurt. Tell ya what.....takes a tough dude to roll up to the show rockin' the blue fuzzies!!!!

[69 Okie Truck]

Ummm....er......well....cough....
They ARE house slippers. Blue fuzzy ones (he admitted quite sheepishly)

Went to a rally. Had to take off my combat boots, climb into a bed and wait for the whistle. Then I had to jump out of a bed, slip on the house shoes, jump over a fence, jump onto my parked bike, fire it up and race across a finish line in the timed event "Jealous hubby comes home"

I didn't win THAT event, but DID win the one with the bodaciously well endowed (and perfectly topless) 18 year old girl riding on the back of my bike as she placed tennis balls in the hole on the top of traffic cones as I slowly and carefully slithered through the maze of them without putting my feet down.

I can't post those pics though.........

18! My daughters were once 18! Sinner!
I hated when my youngest daughter turned 18, I couldn't look at Playboy any more without feeling really strange. It sucks getting old!

Man, this thread went south

[prostreetC-10]

At least we are not bashing each other on longbed vs shortbed!

[prostreetC-10]

I had to actually go back and read the original post. It was something about a guy that thought about building a longbed but then realized it's a little depressing when you look at a SWB......something like that.
