Still Contemplating my options. I have:

1985 W350 Crew Cab Short Box

1991 W250 Reg Cab Long Box CTD

Do I do my conversion and keep the crew a short box? This will be easier, cheaper, and better to drive. Or do I do some cutting and make the crew a long bed, which would be awesome and give me the bed space I actually need?

 

Must not be a very interesting question. If 21 people have viewed and only 2 poll replies. Let's please hear your responses.

 

I guess it just depends on what you'll use it for. My quad cab short box is just right for me. The back seat is usually full with parts, paperwork and stuff.
What do you plan to haul/tow?

 

I have a dog box that take the takes up the first 3 feet of bed, a decoy cart that needs at about 5 feet (tailgate down is OK) not to mention dirt bikes, but we have hauled them very infrequently. Here is a pic of my current set up. I think the bed would be tight, and after all the decoy cart (aluminum box frame w/ 4 bike tires) would be much easier to cut and weld on.

i vote crew long bed!

 

Long bed is the way to go. IMO it's better to have to much room than not enough.

 

oh what the hell I'm note working on it...go for the long box!

 

Haha... I love it. I have decided to stick with the short. My grandpa would kill me if he knew I cut his rig in two, and it ads about 2 grand to the project, making the build time take longer. If the short doesn't work I will do the swap in the future.
