Re: Short Bed VS Long Bed Fleet Value
A lot of disscusion here , well here is my 2c's , long bed truck's are in the same catagory as 4 door car's they are what what someone will take when they can't find anything else , lot's of people have really nice longbed truck's , but it is a known fact a shortbed is worth more ,,

Re: Short Bed VS Long Bed Fleet Value
I won't dance around the question. All things being equal, a SWB truck is worth WAY more than LWB in the exact condition. I saw one of Jerry Brown's trucks this weekend, and it was the finest example of a 67-72 I've ever seen. It was being sold for $69,500. A LWB in that condition would not be close. There have been other trucks on Ebay that sold in the $50,000 - $60,000 range over the last 2 years, and you know how long the bed was on those without me saying it.
NOW, with all that being said, there are some people who say they prefer LWB trucks. Some people love the long 'n low look, and you can't get low 'n low without long. There's also people out there who say they prefer the taste of Diet Coke, and well, I don't understand them either!!! ***runs from the LWB crowd yielding flaming torches led by 70cst!*** The problem is that the vast majority prefers the SWB, and if you majored in economics, I don't have to tell you the benefit of 80-85% more people preferring the SWB in terms of value. That's simple economics!
