I'm looking to purchase a truck that will eventually be needed to pull a 5'er and would prefer to get a standard length bed (6'4") for reasons I won't go into here, but wanted the forum's opinion abou...

First twuck I bought had a std 8' bed. Every one since is a std 8' bed. It would be WONDERFULL to have a pickup with a LONG bed....10' or so. One can then put a cross bed tool box, and still have room for a 4x8' sheet of plywood IN the bed, along with a trailer hooked up.......To do that without a flat bed would be nice!
Oh, anything less than 8' is a short bed! I still remember back to 81 a year out of HS and buying my first twuck. Even had a whopping 105hp 292 I6 in it! now if it does not have 300-400+ ponies, people think it is a weak motor!

GMC in early 1970's made a camper special called "Longhorn" with a 10ft bed for cab-over campers.
