Short Bed Syndrome

[Nick The Great]

I know on GMT guys were always bitching about the 5'8" Crew Cab boxes. How they couldn't haul anything.

I was looking through the MECUM listings today and found this truck. I think it'd solve those problems. MECUM is in Des Moines July 17-18, and I'd be happy to purchase for anybody interested.

How the hell do you manuver that thing in a parking lot?

My crews drive long bed 3/4 ton crew cab diesels pulling 30" trailers. It's all about the planning. Of course people get out of your way in traffic

Well... isn't THAT a thing of beauty.

 

[Nick The Great]

I know. It's not usually what you see on the MECUM lists.

Hell, I bet even Travis (Tallspawn) could stretch out in that thing.

I bet it would be expensive to Line-X that sum bitch!

It's already fully carpeted, no need to Line-X it.

Interesting though... Not exactly sure what it's purpose would be. My initial thought was that it would be easy to haul 10' sheets of drywall.

Pretty wild, it's just a tad bigger than my bed.

I wonder how much beer that thing could hold?
