Re: Shortening the bed, literally just the bed

Yep, 133" WB hauls better. The new longbeds run that WB, which had been reserved for 1t trucks-only (think Longhorn) traditionally. A 67-72 C/20 with bobbed tail has about the same proportions as a Longhorn

As far as people doing alterations that limit who would want to but your truck when the time comes... if the time comes, don't do it if that's more important to you. But I will say, there are vehicles out there that most people would get upset over, wanna puke, or whatever, that others would die for. I'm sure most '55 Nomad guys would cringe at this sight. For me, it's a beautiful work of art that I would pay money from here to the moon for
