Wondering what it would look like to use a short bed on a truck like a 1-Ton with 137" wheelbase. You could then use the extra 21" between the cab and bed for a toolbox or even an extended cab.
Anyone have any pics of something like this? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 | I've seen some and can't really say any of them looked good in my opinion.
All that matters is if it looks good to you though.
Are you talking flat/platform bed or pickup bed? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | Most look bad because of the space below the toolbox. I think if you used long bed steps, and then used a tool box that was made to fill the space between the bed and cab, it would look good. Using a regular tool box that is notched for the bed won't look right, IMO. Dare to be different!

Maybe it"s the angle but i think he could have rounded the top back of the cab more... even so, i don't think i like it... hmm. thought i would but it just doesn't seem to work,,, | | |
