Hey, that was my truck in the add.

I do like the short bed. Didn't know they came with a SC or did you do that? Long bed will be more useful to me at work. Just like the skinny tires are when it snows. Function over fashion I say.

I think the dentside CC's looks better than the bumpside ones.

As others mentioned, I'd like to have both of these trucks. Anyone have $1200 I could borrow?

Yup - custom ones I had a mold made for. Made 5 sets of them right as the economy went to crap and haven't sold a set. Know anybody who might want some

SC's did come in short bed. Pretty sure only in 2wd though. Since my truck isn't a work truck the shorter wheel base of the short bed is better for what I will use my truck for. In fact - if I ever "go big" with the truck and cut the rear frame and 4 link it I will shorten the wheel base up to 125-130" or so!

Now for the bump vs. dent CC's - how is this not a dead sexy beast!?!?!? Oh yeah - it's that "beauty is in the eye of the beerholder" thing again

Man that crew is bad a$$!! I love the supercab though too. I have a 79 F350 supercab 2wd so I like the looks of it but man the 69 is just a truck you dont run across that often. I like how both trucks are stock looking/original untouched. You probably will have a much easier time getting parts for the 79 and every day use will probably be better on the 79 but what the heck go for the 69, you just dont see these trucks that much like the 79's. If you dont like it sell it and you will get your money back if not more.

i've heard of a few crew cab builds being abandoned due to parts availability. depending on how bad the crew is, id go for the crew, then swap in a later model drive train. you just dont see many crews at all, especially where im at.

I never said the bumpsides weren't. I personally like the dentside looks better, but I'd take a bumpside crew (or standard cab) in a heartbeat.
