James’ 1974 W200 build

short beds "look" a little sportier, but I think they ride a little choppier, especially leaf sprung rear ends. Also, I want a truck I can haul plywood or studs and be able to close the tailgate.
exactly why I want a longbed!! put a piece of lumber in there and shut the gate!! guys buy these brand new 25 and 3500's with a short bed, I just friggin shake my head when I see 'em.
