What GM didn't make when I bought my truck, and after just checking the web still doesn't, is a 3500 double (extended) cab with the 6' bed. They do in the 2500 but for the 1 ton if you want a short bed you must get the crew cab, or if you want an extended cab you must get the 8' bed. Or do what I did and get the 2500, beef up the tires/wheels and suspension and get one of the lighter campers.
Kinda sucks nowadays that we pay a kings ransom for a truck, THEN have to modify it to get what we want - need ... :(
I searched high and low the used/preowned market and then the new market and finally found (1) one F250/PSD/SC/Lariat that I added airbags and the 19.5" tires off my old truck. I wanted a SRW F350/PSD/SC but all the lots in my area were full of CREW CAB's and stripped down (XT) regular cab trucks. I bought the last new F250PSD/SC/Lariat within 100mils of where I live. :)
It kinda sucks that we have to ether special order or put up with the slim pickings the dealers get. I would of considered a crew cab but did not want the turning radius and wheel base (weight and cost!).
