    Hope it's all good. Although apparently you are now homeless?

    I have a dclb but I don't think that the lb or the sb look as good as ac. long box looks a little long and short box looks stubby and the fender looks chopped and unfinished .I am a tile contractor so I think the lb is more for my needs I think I would get laughed off job sight if I had the tiny short box. I would like to see a long box made into a dually.

    Use the short bed for work (Pool Service) everyday, no problems.

    don't get me wrong I love my dclb I just think that when they designed the truck they have to start somewhere and the ac was probably it. and it does have a long box

    I prefer the long bed. Better to have it than need it.

    Anybody with a DOUBLE CAB (LONG BED) SPEEDWAY BLUE TACOMA…I'm interested in purchasing your truck. Mileage is not really an issue…

    If you have a 2wd…I'll trade you mine or straight up buy it. Mine is a: Double Cab Speedway Blue Shortbed 4x4. I'm simply looking for the longbed in speedway blue...

    I want an AC with an 8' bed, it would be the same wheel base as a DCLB.
