haha, here in ky we just let our friends ride in the bed
and yea i do think that standard cab long beds look a little funny and i do like the extra space of my dads ex cab. but then again im going to be the first out of my group of friends to be driving so i might be driving someone places.
id like to get a ex shortbed. i dont want to drive something with almost the same wheelbase as the 2000 4x4 blazer that my mom offered me

 

what do you guys think of this truck
i dont think the newer longbeds look bad at all

the guy doesnt know that there was a recall recently on the speedometers going out, my dad just got his replaced in his 04

 

The bed on that also looks like its been in an accident; it is completely missing the complimentary trim on that bed panel; the trim should match that of the door panel.

I'd pass on that truck unless you were looking for a work truck.

 

thank for sharing information

 

all you guys can talk about your ex cabs and such but nothin beats a crew cab with an 8 foot bed!!, and im a lead foot with my truck(when its running right lol) so gas is sometimes in short supply 350 400 turbo,(that's why iv got 2 40 gal tanks) not knocking you guys just love all my space!! god save gm.

1978 chevy 3/4 crew cab regular bed!!!

 

thanks for pointing that out
i did also find a 96 4x4 shortbed
it was for 4300 and had 48k miles
but i think its a katrina car b/c the interior looks funny

and i also found this nice truck thats in my price range

I really like the first listing there; the white pickup. It looks like its clean cut and in really good shape; I don't see how the interior looks funny though; are you talking about the carpeting? It looks a little odd but I think you could check it out in person and make a judgement then; and of course if you have the intentions of buying a vehicle, you can ask as many questions as you see fit.

 

The second truck looks odd with those swampers on it, I think it needs a bigger lift to be honest with you.

Yesterday I used my 8ft bed...again. Went 30 miles to big up a bag of sawdust. This "bag" weighs 1600lbs and is 8ft x 4ftx 4ft. Boy was I glad to be able to shut the tailgate. Sometimes 3/4 ton suspension really is AMAZING. When I got home, my dad decided to set my tailgate on a wheelbarrow paint side down. Then the cat knocked it over and it hit the concrete with a clang and then slid a ways. Needless to say my Chevrolet emblem is toast

 

I'm sorry to hear that man; but it's a chevy, it'll buff out!

But seriously, that does suck. Hopefully he'll pay for the repair. As for the gigantic sandbag, I don't see why it matters so much that you were able to close the tailgate, I would've been able to haul it in my truck just as easily, with my 6ft bed. I know longbeds are useful, but if you're not going to be doing stuff like that all the time, then there's no real reason to haul all that extra metal around.

 

yea i was talking about the carpeting, and i see that its been sitting for awhile because he got new belts wires power steering pump and exhaust
it looks like theres vinyl on the floor
my dad told me that one of his friends bought a durango with 60k miles and he thinks it was a katrina car because rust started popping out everywhere
but it does look like a very nice truck though i still might consider it.
and the second truck is sold without the swampers and with the stock tires
lol i read you drove 30 miles to pick up a bag of sawdust and i was like WHAT?

heres a few others
i love the oldies
