Will she like it short...or keep it long ??

Cut it.

 

Its like circumcision! Some are and some aren't.

 

Generally nobody wants a longbed until it's time to go to Lowes.

I guess if it was going to be my daily and I planned on using it like a truck I'd leave it as is.

Otherwise I'd cut it.

All the guys that are shouting about buying one that's already a shortbed...they cost more $$$ and the man has the skills to shorten the one that he already owns.

 

Short!

 

well is it running yet? have to say after helping cut a couple down it really make no difference when it was time to sell because a beat shortbox won't sell any faster that a beat longbox.

 

I would say yes, Should help you make a few extra bucks if you end up moving it down the road later, plus they just look better. Better balance.

 

rock the long bed-they're sick!

 

cut it, my harley fit perfect in my short '63

 

I've always felt that if it's going up (like a 4x4) short beds look best, and if it's going down low, long beds look best, (and they are more useful).

 

I think long beds look good slammed, but short beds look even better.....chop it

 

i have a '58 short bed now, but i have always been playing w/ the idea of a mid bed... the short bed always seems a bit short and the long is so damn long... if you keep the proportions right in front and behind the rear wheel, i think the tweener could look great.. i'm gonna definitely try it at some point- just got to finish this one first!

 

Long, looooooooowwww.

 

Go with the 7 ft option. The long beds are really cool low, but are also REALLY long. short beds grow on trees.

 

Long or short either way as long as it's on the ground!

 

Long

 

keep it long and strong!!!!!!!!! sick! ask the girls they all like it long!

 

I had a shorty '65 with a 355, and a muncie. Everyone here says keep it long, so you gotta cut it short just to be different.
Cut it.

 

I'd say...shorten it!!!

 

make it longer

 

I say leave it long. I've always though the short bed fleetsides look stubby. Stepside, short for sure. But the fleetsides look killer dropped, long and low. You'll be cruising mean for sure. Not to mention you'll be able to haul more stuff around.

My beater shop truck is a non-HAMB friendly 67 C/10 long bed fleetside that I z'd the frame. I always get lots of compliments on it even though it's rotted beyond repair.

 

I say lengthen it.

 

Keep it long, if you want a shorty trade her for one. She'd look good lowered a bit with some reverse steelies.
