Anyone else think that's a shortened longbed?

Guess if I can't say something nice...I shouldn't say anything at all,

BUT I have to ask, WHY? just WHY?

I was asking WHY about the undercarriage, engine and transmission, not the bed :-)

That question was probably in response to my post. :wink:

I think it may be shortened because it appears that the wheelbase is longer than that of a true shortbed. There also appears to be something funky going on at the rear, where the body line sweeps around the taillight pockets. If you shorten a longbed by removing material from the rear and moving the rear section forward, then that body line no longer aligns properly. Long- and shortbed unis have different taillight pockets for that reason.

There's one photo of it that shows some waviness in that area.

That is not a heterosexual color, just sayin

If he gets $24k for that, I hope the buyer has a brother looking for a CT/WW truck.

I really like that " custom " rear window . I think I will try that with my uni . Fortunately I already have a long bed uni with a window just like that which I guess :D should be able to be adapted to my short uni :D.

I'm with ya cw. Looks nice to me. Lots of nice customizing (Dash - A/C )
I don't see what everyone sees on the shortened longbed! Quarters look just like mine!
Nice engine compartment---not my choice , but still nicely done.

That hinky wobble at the tail lights could just be amateur body work, but it does look a tad long in wheelbase. And I agree, not the wisest choice in engine/trans, but to each his own, I guess.

I like everything on the truck (yes that includes the engine) except for the paint color! But it's not quite worth that much.

Stock SWB Uni has an "off center" look to the rear wheel arch.
Some colors and stances will make it more noticeable - some less.
It has the correct fender extensions for a SWB (they are different than a LWB).
Like the mill or not it's very nicely done and very nicely not over done.
Not my type of build but nice is nice.

I have heard a rumor that 429-460 valve cover will fit. Don't really belive it, anybody ever heard this? Would make engine look better.
