well I can't picture what I have yet either, as I only saw it briefly. I think it is about as long as a shortbed pickup. However I know there are a number of these swb monster around and I was just wondering what other folks had done with them. Kinda hoping for pictures or links.
I do not have a burning need for this truck, or a particular job for it to do ( I think my '68 C60 with 427 and air with a GVW of 28,000 would be better for anything serious) But I like it I wanted it and it would be neat if I could put "something cool" on the back of it and at least pretend I could use it for something ;-)
about half way thinking it will be my "bad weather, recovery" vehicle. here in interior Alaska when the temps drop down to -50 (F) or worse and it is dark 16+ hours a day, having a truck that will start, has a tow strap some chains and some jumper cables ( and maybe on board air, and a hot start.. or shared water heating system) is Kinda handy. I am entertaining the idea of an abbreviated wrecker, Tool box, chain rack, work lights bed mounted PTO winch maybe even wrecker style Chocks.
kind of one of those rough and tumble old snowplow types that you only break out when all else fails
However I would LOVE to see anything people have put on the back of Shorties... just because i find it entertaining and thought provoking. ( ok, I am bored and tired of waiting for the weekend to go get my new toy )
