I love the square body's, long bed, short bed, they're all cool. But in my humble opinion (not that anyone asked), when it comes to slammed vehicles, I think the longer they are the better they look. Picture a four door, long bed dually anything. A mile long and down in the weeds is just freaking cool. Hot damn! those get my motor running. Kind of why I love the wagon so much, she's long and lowered, that's what this guy finds sexy. Just my 2 cents that probably isn't even worth that much. Keep doing what you're doing Puddin, I enjoy it all.

[@richardbates2367]

I usually prefer the long bed truck because it ends up getting worked hauling heavy gauge scrap steel and scrap metal and being used for hauling firewood and hauling any junkyard scores of parts or drivetrain I get ahold of so it usually is a 3/4 ton version of a gm square body 2wd and 4x4

[@darrylcross9617]

@jefesmith I agree with you if it's a 4 door long bed being slammed but in my opinion a single cab long bed just looks weird like it's Unproportioned

[@j.sargent9172]

​@darrylcross9617 that's why so many companies started making so little of them except like white base models for work trucks. Being 6'5 I'll never own a single cab anything haha

Nice to have connections in the savage yard business too even when the pickings are getting slimmer and slimmer. Be careful and stay safe my friend God love ya brother.

I made a lot of trips to get old cars put together just to get them home in the late sixties and early seventies you would of loved the thirties, forties , and fifties trucks ,coupes, and convertibles.

With as much as you have to switch/ borrow wheels and tires from vehicle to vehicle have you ever considered picking up a set of those Guniwheel universal wheel/tire rollers? They seem like a pretty nifty thing to have around when you’re moving a lot of different project vehicles around, you don’t have to worry about flats and they’d save a bunch of space over storing all kinda different tires and wheels

[@j.sargent9172]

For what they are, they're priced to high. I could justify it if I had a business

[@irocthe85]

Hell yeah man, I dig the hell out of the squarebody content.

[@mtrgv]

I highly suggest you keep this C10 a long bed. My reasons; lots of young men and women entering the car repair/resto hobby may not have the skills to do a frame shortening. Older car guys/lady's would prefer keeping the truck a long bed. You could make this truck into a high boy 2 wheel drive truck with a front mounted winch. That would be a cool truck project. But Puddin, in the end it's your decision what you'll do with your truck. You're a good guy Puddin, cant wait for the next installment of the Green Chili Long Bed!!!! lol.

[@LarryJohnson7]

Hope all is well.

[@eddiealbritton2462]

On a lot of the older vehicles. On the ignition switch ,you have a small hole on side are under, no bigger than a needle; you can put a paper clip are needle in and push and pop the ignition switch out!🤔 My 77 firebird had the setup .I found out after I broke the switch out. Little little hole you can't really see, unless you know about it.

[@emersonb5764]

Yay! I’d watch another long bed to short bed conversion. Yeah it’s good to save long beds from going to scrap, but I think many would agree you improve the value of the truck by converting to short bed. Long beds are the red headed stepchild that people send to scrap when they don’t run.
