Hey guys I have found a 66 c10 i want to buy but it is a lwb. How much longer is the long wheel base over the short? Also how much does it affect the turning and steering of the vehicle?

thanks justin

It's like driving any other long bed (8') truck out there...Just like any vehicle you'll get used to it.

A long wheelbase truck is just 20 inches longer overall than a short wheelbase truck. The actual wheelbase is 12 inches different.

Nope, 12" wheelbase + 8" behind the axle = 20"
