OPINIONS on bobbing my F100 bed?

[Sam_Fear]

Which one do you guys think looks best? I bobbed both sets of picc to about the same lengths.
Thanks.

I like the long trucks but it would be bad lowered

I like the middle two. But I don't think you can go wrong.

 

[Boltbreaker]

longer one.

my opinion is to try and find a short bed from another truck, then shorten frame to match.......(to me the 64-66 bed looks better anyway)
but you know what they say about opinions..they're like armpits-everybody has 'em..and some stink!!

cut the bed down in front of the wheelwell...

i like the middle pic w/ the black truck. If you were to bobb the front, the rear looks like it hangs out back there.

I like the look of the shorter one but you would have to bring the rear wheels forward too. It looks a little out of place being so far back. Maybe cut an equal amount off of the front and rear.

I like bob job number 2 on the black truck photo. I say that because I think it would look best with the wheel opening approximately centered in the bed side.

i say cut the bed at the front or find yourself a short bed and hack the frame to suit.

Thanks for all the input fellas. After photo-chopping it for awhile, I lost my perspective as to what looked right. Somewhere around #2 is where I'll cut it to then. Like Gastrick said, to balance it out.

I have reasons not to slam or short-bed swap it - although I like both. I wanted to keep the long-bed, but with what I plan to do I think it looks to heavy behind the tires at 8'.

Thanks again!

Some Slick history - the 61-63 F100's were uni-bodies (body and cab one piece), but if you wanted a separated bed, Ford threw on the old 59-60 style bed causing mismatched body lines.

The middle one has the best proportions.
