shortbed is great and still fesable for hauling etc. i put mine on the scale with over the amount the truck weighs and that was 6000 pound "forklift" i haul metal for cement factory and other places on the side and havent any complaints about not having enough room. when a chevy is under load its like driving a caddy. i can feel the difference. anyways just figure out what you think would suit your needs in the long run. hope this helps. if you are going to get a fifth wheel or gooseneck id go for a longbed and a tough tranny.

Long bed is the way to go. You cant load a short bed up with a bunch of cute girls a show or something. Well in my case, it would be one girl, I dont want to be sleeping in the doghouse or in the truck for the next year.

Short bed stepside just for the looks I remember way back farmers would buy short bed trucks because the beds were made of wood and square and they could put cattle in the bed with side boards and the cows wouldn't slip. Im wondering does anyone remember this?

bubbas91lariat · 08-26-2007, 09:13 AM

i wouldn but my dad said somethin about my grandpa would do that.

long beds are the best becuz
they can put more things in there
they look better
they are longer, which looks better

and becuz if i had to get a truck, it would be a long bed or no go. long beds look awesome,, short beds suck!
