It's nice if you like blue long beds. I'm not a big fan of either, but I have seen both that make me reconsider my opinion.....

blue = sweet, lwb = sucks but it is a nice truck that is just like the truck in some of my childhood pictures. my mom said they had it as a d/d and i took the glove box out of it at about three or four years old after my sperm donor left. so she had to do it herself she couldnt get it back in so she made me do it and she said it rattled until the day she got ride of it
 i guess i was doomed to be a grease monkey all my life.

I perfer short beds too and the price seems a little high to me. I am not against long beds but just perfer a shortbed myself. I think the truck looks better with a short bed. I do not have a problem with the color-mainly the price.

 The only place they don't look better is in the case of dropped trucks, but who likes those anyway...  In the end, they're all great as long as they're wearing a " "

ya goota remember that if this is the way you would do your truck then its not such a bad buy... it would cost quite a bit and all your labor to get it as nice as the pics believe it to be... i know what i have in my 74 c10 ;wb and it is still driver condition and i havent even put the fron t clip on and painted it yet... and then think of the price of a new truck too.. make it sound better yet???

the long beds look good on the older trucks that have loooong front fenders. i'd take that one in a heartbeat, maybe. if it weren't an auction i'd bargain $6,000 for it.
