Re: 64 Long Bed vs Short bed

IMHO long bed have better proportions and look better lowered. Plus I like the extra room for hauling stuff.

It took me a while to find a nice longbed to build. Most people only save the short beds from being parted out.

Re: 64 Long Bed vs Short bed

In my opinion long beds are too long from the center of the rear wheel to the back of the cab...And short beds only look good when really really Low...up they look short and stumpy.
I like 12" taken out of the front of a long bed like in my profile photo. Makes the bed look more in proportion to the cab.
But if i was to choose...long or short....I would go short...dump it low
