Cheap crew cab shorty on craigslist!

I found this while looking for a service bed. Put a white short bed on it and make it cool!

Hope this helps someone!

Anyone here actually have a crew cab short bed? I'd like to see a few pics of them if possible. Even if they are ones that had the frame shortened to accomadate the short bed.

First GM factory short bed was in 1999.
Anything else was either home built, or done by a conversion company like Centurion.

Good to know. Does anybody have a pic of some of the homemade, 4-door trucks that are now shortbeds? I'd really like to see how that pans out.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks for the link. The 4 doors are just a little bit too long for me. I think if they were my thing, I'd have to shorten the bed
