Disagree all you want, I still wouldn't want one and half the truck drivers I see would hurt themselves trying to get in and out of them, unless they have a built in staircase that folds out when you open the door. Turn any sharper than you see some people doing already and they'll peel the tires right off the wheels. You must be running a real long wheel base truck if shrinking it 6 foot is even a possibility.

One aspect of short wheelbases I always hated was trying to drive them bobtail in heavily rutted roads. Yes, most of the time you are under a trailer, but sometimes those short wheelbases can be dangerous in those cases when bobtail. I remember seeing several times a bobtail single screw cab over crashed after the driver lost control of the rear. That is a phobia I have.

Man, I grew up on the doghouse of the GMC cracker box, as well as the Transtar and an ol’ White Freightliner. Those doghouses got hot as hades. Minimal insulation on those things. Great in the wintertime, but really, really sucked rest of the year.BigBob410 and shooter19802003 Thank this. -
