    My first 32 truck bed was 57, The second was 60, and now I horse traded into a 55 inch bed from Brookville. The 55 inch bed looks OK with the 3 inch chop but I wish it was a little longer. With the 55 inch bed the frame horns are right at the back edge of the bed??? I thought my 60 inch bed with a 4 inch chop really looked really well balanced. If you have a Oct 05 issue of R&C you can see the truck. I think Mac Hills in Missouri makes a 60 inch box for the 33/34 pu???

    If it's on a 32 frame there is a world of difference. The longer wheelbase of the 33-4 requires a longer bed to look good, IMHO.

    Where is the extra length or lack of added or subtracted from? In the rear, back of axle center line?
    Would matter if running fenders or not............................

    thats what i am thinking about 63 inches would look right on a 33-34. i want a bed with the impressions in the side but mac hill only makes the bed sides for 34 in stock lenght or 60 inches

    63" bed on this 33 i have at the shop. it looks good, but with the longer wheel base if you get the truck sitting too low, the overall look, looks a bit off, kinda like a lowered longbed...
