WOW! all those goodies, you must giggle every time you walk into your garage...lol.....thats awesome

im bum'd your gonna make it a shorty though...everybody's got to have a short bed...i think the long beds add so much more to the style, especially with a moderate coil/spindle drop (stock, no bags)...but hey, to each his own right...im sure it'll look awesome whatever you decide to do with it

I have one of both. I think I prefer the long box, but the short box fits in the garage better..

Welcome from Washington state. Looks like some elbow grease resulted in an amazing transformation on what already looked like a pretty solid truck.
