Where did you guys find regular cab trucks with short beds?

Nobody has them around here! Most of what's out around town are crew cabs.

I found mine at a dealer. They had three, two Chevy's and the GMC I bought. They are hard to find until you get one, then they start coming out of the wood work. There are 15 around me know, including one that's identical to mine (other than mines lowered).

The regular cabs come with the standard bed.

275/55r20's are a stock size. My truck two posts up has them. It's lowered 2/5. 

 

 

Thanks!  I thought yours might be that size, but I wasn't sure.

 

I can't find many to look at even online.

It all depends on where you are, I see a lot of them in North Georgia, Alabama and Texas....but not as many in other places.

 

With the 2019 and 20's not being available in this setup they are getting more rare.

In my mind, "short bed" is 6". I'm old school like that.

What are you planning?

I am awaiting a turbo kit release from Huron Speed with Comp oilless turbos. She is going down on a 2-4” kit. It is my daily and I can’t go too low. I want a little rake. Gonna change to coil overs up front. I will probably start building a separate forged motor at some point. Probably gonna stay with 20” rims seems like better tire options and she will need traction. Hellwig front and and rear sway bars are ordered. Chevy performance front brakes incoming. Scheduled for ceramic coating. Deciding on some different looks and things at the moment before ceramic coating. I was told nothing stick to the coating so it need all that worked out before my appointment. I wont install some things till spring as I have to deal with winter here. I am very disappointed Chevy discontinued this truck in the U.S. I had 2020 F150 ordered but decided to get this instead. It had to be the right one. I searched hard. This truck is clean as they come.

Really want to lower mine but I use it too much as a work truck.

Sweet holy moses I dig your truck!!! I have a very similar one. The High Country grille looks fantastic! I wanted to do that for a long time on mine, it's still on the "maybe one day" list of mods....

 

I was also torn between lowering, and functionality as a truck. In the end I just went with a 2" rear shackle drop to take out some of the extreme rake. 

 

Any plans to paint the top bumper strip?

 

Edit: More photos in this thread never hurts. Here's how it sits with the 2" rear drop. I've since removed the plastidip from the wheels, since I got a brand new one as part of an accident repair.

Thanks man I appreciate that. As of now no plans really on painting anything, if I could find a bumper cap that was already painted for cheap I would swap it out, but once you start color matching, you might as well do it all. I have been on the fence about lowering for a while, if I do it, Im all in for like a 5/7 or something, but like you said I will loose some functionality.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
