GM offers the work truck in a std cab/std bed as well as a std cab/long bed. For whatever reason you can't get the V8 with the std bed, but you can with a long bed. I took a quick look at the Fords a day or 2 ago, and yes you can get a Ford std cab/std bed. Lousy color selection though. If remember correctly they also seemed to be more expensive.
The big thing I'm giving up is the 2 spd xfer case. They apparently can add the remote start for me (which I'll do), and we'll do an aftermarket Patriot spray on bedliner as all of the Line-X dealers around hear have jumped ship due to new rules being imposed by corporate Line-X.
I'm hoping my 2014 wheels I bought back in 2014 as take offs from an LTZ extended cab will fit the new truck. Getting mixed answers on that. They're 18"s vs the new 17"s, but they have the same offset as the new truck wheels. Time will tell. I went through the job of pulling them off the truck this morning and putting the original 20" wheels and tires on it for trade in.
Wait...are you talking the 5ft8in box? They've never done that on a regular cab. I might have misunderstood your reply.
RCSB = Regular Cab "short"/"standard" box (6ft6in box).
RCLB = Regular Cab Long Box (8ft box).
Out of habit I guess I've always referred to the RCSB as a short box but technically yes its the standard box. Ram never made a 5ft box regular cab either. Just the standard 6ft 4in box or the 8ft box.
Only thing I see in short supply are filters, thanks to Fram's parent company going ****** up. Places they relied heavily on Fram stock, shelves are bare. I think places like Wally are working negotiating pricing on other replacement brands before they fill their shelves with anything.
I'm set for a good while on all filters and oil supplies
