[Isaac McCaffrey]

So I ran across this the other day and I kinda thought it was cool but I've never seen it before

Figures….it’s from Illinois!
Probably out of necessity since you can’t get an old truck bed that’s not rusted out!
Seriously though, not a fan. For a beat up woods truck? Sure slap on whatever fits. But for something that apparently is supposed to be pleasing to the eye, it sticks out like a sore peter!

I don't understand ANY driver or street truck that's jacked up so high that there's room for another tire and wheel in the gap.
But I also don't understand "laying frame"...makes about as much sense to me.

I'm with you! What I also don't understand is people who insist on putting big motors in their trucks, I mean they can only go so fast before it's illegal so what's the point?!? I just shake my head.

I'd have to say it's due to the monkey see-monkey do generation.

LOL...when I saw the title of the thread I saw it as 12' bed on a '81, so I had to see what a 12 foot bed looked like. I was expecting a goofy looking truck, and I wasn't disappointed, but for a completely different reason. Yeah, a 2012 bed a 1981 truck does not look good.

Yea, that's how I read the title too. Either way I'm not fan.

Here now, let's not step on toes!
I have an '86 patina dually that's getting a pump gas 565.
I'm tired of diesels just walkin' off and leaving me towing with my 454.
I don't just use my big inch engine to go a few miles per hour over the speed limit. I use it to get there quicker.

How much of that is attempting to recover paint costs?
People are disconnected from reality.
It looks horrible from any angle.

I wanted to puke at a twelve foot bed. Wtf?
