Re: support for longbeds
Here is a picture of my lwb stepper farm truck I had until recently when I gave it to one of my grandsons.
I gave it to him because he is helping me build a '67 swb stepper.

Re: support for longbeds
Here's mine! I like trucks because they are trucks - made for hauling. They can look good and go fast, but they need to be able to haul. The more room for hauling, the better... ![]() |

Re: support for longbeds
It was started awhile back, but its still an active thread. Last post was only on the 26th. Personally I like having one post that shows all the long beds (or whatever the truck) so I dont have to shuffle through 3 or 4 posts to see all the pics.

Re: support for longbeds
I take it these guys bustin' your chops are car-convert wussies who seem to have the need to displace their feelings of inadequacy through the criticism of the length of your truck

Re: support for longbeds
I can see a shortbed as a replacement for a car or for a weekend cruise, but I need a truck. 4X8 sheet goods in the bed with the gate closed, or hauling a pallet of whatever.
I have owned both, but always come back to the longbed. Maybe someday I'll have both. For now, it's about hauling stuff. I also owned an S-15. Not only was it 6" too short, it was also narrow. Eeeew. Current C2500 ![]() Recently departed C1500 ![]()
