Little short wide we picked up yesterday.
Picked up a '85 short bed yesterday. Pretty straight truck, got it at a great deal, and it has a new stroker motor in it. When we bought it, he said it died on him and he couldn't get it to run again, we got back, threw a new battery in it, adjusted the timing a little, and it runs perfect. So it wasn't too bad of a day.

Re: Little short wide we picked up yesterday.
SWB= short wheel base, bed has nothing to do with it.
The "wide bed" (fleetside) is standard and not worth mentioning. If is was the step-side....short step

Re: Little short wide we picked up yesterday.
With the new motor that is a good deal. Keep us informed on your progress with your new "toy".
