Seems like everyone just has to have Daddy's Pwretty Widdle Twuck nowdays to go impress everyone in the food handout lines. Watching the news all you see are long lines snaking around huge parking lots to pick up a box of free food.  You don't see any "Beaters" or "Hoopties" in those lines either. If those yahoos weren't spending so much for those gadget overloaded urban assault vehicles and  glorified 4 door grocery-getter P/Ups that don't have a bed big enough for much of anything, except maybe a tricycle, and we're not talking about a HD trycycle (hound dog motorcycle), they wouldn't need to be in line for a free box of food.  Who needs a back up camera on a truck that is for pulling a trailer? That's what mirrors are for, or can't anyone get their fat neck to turn to look in a mirror? And for power windows, when an accident or computer failure happens you can't get out, because your windows are up and doors have been automaticly locked. I wonder how reasonable priced a NEW P/up could be if it was just a basic TRUCK with no electric anything except for lights, wipers and a radio, like they used to be?

Was wondering of that, short wb is better for maneuvering HOWEVER are also pretty evil for jack knifing when challenged that and ride like a short wb does, BADLY.

My 76 K3500 is a single cab dually with a standard bed. It rides fine turns very sharp with a gooseneck. 1 1/2' shorter wouldn't make any differance. Back in the 80s I built a lifted blazer on one ton chassis. It rode fine until you put a short 16' camper trailer on it then it was like a hobbie horse. Bought a longer trailer 23' camper and it was fine.

my 1997 GMC 3500, 4 door, 4x4, long box, diesel rides just as smooth as my Caddy Eldorado. i love that truck! such a pleasure to drive and comfy! oh...and Paul...if an accident happens, your winders won't crank down either. gotta break them from inside or outside.

i also have 3/4 ton with a flatbed, they are about the handiest box styles there is! if i buy a new/newer pickup, that flatbed will go on it!
