So Im thinking of purchasing a old 51 Chevrolet Pick-up. I'm wondering if I should purchase one with a long or short chassis. What is the difference? What are the pros of both of them? Which one would be better for looks, handling, mileage, ect?

Shorts are also worth more typically.

I mean, you can fit more in the bed of a long bed... but shit, You're not buying a 51 to use as a work truck.


Short bed FTW.
 
if you are going to run full fenders put it on an S10 frame then you have off the shelf lowering kits, v8 swaps, brakes are a ton better, etc....
 
Thank you. In the summers I help my grandparents. So it'll be used for more of a show car, but also a work car.
