I would like for you to keep it a long bed, but the statement above is the reality of the market place...

Re: High School Project Build II

Will you have enough time this school year to make it a short bed? With the snow days last year did time get tight on completing that truck?

Which is worth more and will sell more easily, a long bed or a converted short bed?

Re: High School Project Build II

I think we should have enough time. I believe a converted short bed will bring more

Re: High School Project Build II

I am a long bed fellow as well, but I agree, in the interests of making money for the kids, short is the way to go.

I sub'd for the last one and in for this one as well. Once you have an idea of what you need, post up some lists and maybe a shipping address so that those of us that want to help can do so from afar. Not sure how or if it would work or be legal, but maybe a gofundme account? I know that schools are funny about donations like that.

This is a great thing that you are doing. I hope the kids know how lucky they are.

Might hit up TABCO as well, spread it around, you will probably get more.

Re: High School Project Build II

Exciting! Don't tell the students as I don't want to be a bad example...I would cut algebra class to try to sneak in a second truck build class.
Glad you are going short as will be interesting to see.

Re: High School Project Build II

I'm not a short bed enthusiast, but all the work needed to cut up a long bed and convert it will be a great learning experience for the students!!!

That blue and white color scheme was one of the all time best, my opinion!!!

Glad to see a Thomas bus in post 32. I work for a school, that's all we have.

I'm guessing another LS swap?

In! Definitely won't miss build #2! I like the short bed conversion - kids gotta learn to measure, cut, and weld don't they?!?

Shortening the bed will be a learning experience for all of us
