Thanks Considering that it is an OEM rollbar, has a factory sliding rear window, an AX-15, and has a rust free bed, I will probably try to get it, as long as I have my dad's permission. That way I could still break close to even if I decide not to fix it (don't know why I'd decide that, it looks like a good, fixable truck).

Pete M Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 less-awesome beds are easy to come by the shims change from bed to bed and body to body so it might take a bit of effort to get the body lines lined up right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm asking him and not my mother. I know what my mother would say, and its probably not repeatable. 8 minutes ago, Pete M said: less-awesome beds are easy to come by the shims change from bed to bed and body to body so it might take a bit of effort to get the body lines lined up right. That they are! I am willing to put in the extra work to have 2 MJs. I love these trucks. These are good little trucks, I'm definitely going to start hoarding these.

Pete M Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 while we're on that topic, the frames underneath are very different too. and the shocks for a sb are behind the axle while a longbed's are in front of the axle. leafs are the same length though.

eaglescout526 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I hate this phone sometimes. It guesses what I want to say worse than what my 6 did. It thinks I mean king instead of long despite what I’ve typed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
