Any comparison/side-by-side pics of short versus long bed trucks?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can post some long versus short bed side by side pics of 60 to 66 trucks? I was set on a short bed but just seems like for price can get a nicer long bed...So wanted to see some side by side pics to compare if I could live and learn to love the difference.

Thanks for any help!

This has a few side by side. But it's a thread about medium beds.

Re: Any comparison/side-by-side pics of short versus long bed trucks?

Thanks guys! Appreciate the replies.

The thing is the truck I'm interested doesn't look like a long bed..but in the add it says it's a long bed...maybe it's the camera angle..Idk. haven't contacted the owner yet..was just doing some research first so I don't tyre kick and waste anyones time if I decide against long beds.. but it actually doesnt look as long as other trucks I've seen (in pics).

Thanks mongo! I'm frantically reading as much information I can on these awesome 60 to 66 trucks..was originally looking at 67 to 72 years...but came across a few of these first gen trucks and have fallen in love.

The truck in the pic above that I'm interested turns out is a c20 not a c10...and from reading that means its a 3/4 tonne not 1/2 tonne...has 8 lug wheels (not 6) and has some differences in suspension I think...
Had never considered a c20... but I really like the look of the above truck (in pic).

yeah I noticed the 8 lug wheels and 10 on the fender....was this a frame swap or just a badging swap with different fenders?....10 is 1/2t....20 is 3/4t....30 is 1t
those actually arnt 1st gen trucks though.....
