Re: Really Short Bed!!!!!
or they just chopped frame out. they are obviusely handy with a welder and bthe requierd body work to chop one of these beds so i dont think a few whacks at the frame are going to pose a problem to them.

Re: Really Short Bed!!!!!
I wonder how much lighter that truck is with "less frame and bed" weight to slow it down? With very little weight over the butt, I wonder if it's hard to get it to hook up on a launch?

Like drag cars have a lot of weight in the rear? properly set up it should be fine

I'm not so sure weight would be an issue as much as weight transfer. If it has real stiff suspension it won't hook for crap, a nice softish suspension it would transfer weight back and MAYBE hook a little better. Just my $.02 though. And wow I wouldn't pay half the asking price.

Re: Really Short Bed!!!!!
Whether you like the look or not is personal choice, but you have to admit it is very well done. If it doesn't have a nut, bolt or screw, I can't do it. Body work is beyond me, so when I see something custom like this, I have to say "well done"... Of course, I also say "I'm not interested"...

Hey, at least he didn't hack up a Longhorn into a short bed...
