    People only build old longbed trucks cause they cant afford a shortbed.

    Then, try and look cool when people bring up the long/shortbed subject by saying.... "Longbeds Rule!!!"....You know, kinda like the whole 2 Vs 4 door thing.

    If you have a old 4 door shortbed 1/2 ton truck?....now that's cool.

    I agree... but a longbox step-side is a cool thing...

    Short bed is the only way... C-15 is the current Chevy 1/2 ton designation. They started it back in 1988.

    Longbeds are trucks, shortbeds are SUVs

    In a long bed she won't be bumping her head so much...

    There have been a lot of posts about cutting down long bed trucks to turn them into short beds over the years, but not a single one about converting a short bed into a long bed...

    Just food for thought...
     
  11. Long beds fit more stuff but, without question, short beds look the best.

    depends...two wheel drives (lowered) look cool short bed. Lifted 4x4's look sweet long bed. I dig either or. Mostly depends on application.

    Shortbeds. Longbeds are, well, wrongbeds. :D

    And 4-door sedans? They're called crew cabs round here! :)
