An advantage to cutting is you keep the VIN.

Re: If you love unmolested longbeds, don't look!!!.......or
This is very true, but in my experiences here nobody has ever checked the frame numbers...they are only concerned with the VIN plate on the cab being affixed with the correct rivets (another subject that has been beat to death )
If I ever go to sell and the truck is bought by someone out of state, where a frame inspection becomes a concern, I can see it being a disadvantage. I know I would never have a problem selling here so I did not worry about it. Good point.

You'll have to ask her. She usually wants a frozen Margarita first. That's why she's begging where she it. She's a very naughty mama
Do you have a buyer for the bed yet? I really need one for the shortbed truck I just stretched

What a clean truck! So...was it repainted or just polishing the factory paint that I see at the back of the cab being a different shade of blue...

Re: If you love unmolested longbeds, don't look!!!.......or
I like shortbeds and I like longbeds. I agree that the same truck in a shortbed seems to bring more...or it's more like there's more that will pay a higher price. Because there are actually guys who will pay the same high price for a longbed when we are talking primo trucks. A shortbed is worth more in so-so condition. But,I disagree that a truck with a cut and welded frame and wrong model number is worth more than a clean unmolested lwb with the same equipment. I'm not saying there aren't fools that will pay more,but no vehicle that's had the frame cut in two and welded back together is a better truck than one that's hasn't to anyone who knows how to judge value. I will buy a swb,but walk away from chop-downs. Sorry,but as long as there are real shortbeds a chopped up truck has no value and no desirability to me.

The seller was asking me what I was looking for, I told him in so many words that if it was a chop down LWB I was going to walk away from the sale. I could care less if one wants to make a SWB for the cool factor, but I do care when they are passed off as an original SWB.

Re: If you love unmolested longbeds, don't look!!!.......or
I've seen Gumby in person and I never would if known it started life as a longie. That's a testament for shortened long beds, I've seen quite a few running around here and would of never known had the owners not told me, they usually are very proud of their accomplishment. Long live Gumby

The Gumby truck is cool.
I built a car named Gumby, abused it for about 15 years then sold it. I have a license plate for your wall if you want it that says C GUMB GO. |
