Planning for an equipment move...

Once upon a midnight dreary, Zane H. Healy had spoken clearly: Altho they did make longbox (8 foot) boxes on the S-10 line, they're pretty tough to find. Otherwise, an S10 will fit anything 6 foot even... or maybe an inch or two over. If you have room for a little diagonal work, you may able to squeeze 6 foot 6 inches. Weight-wise - I've found the S10 line to be quite capable. They're standard 1/2-ton, but I've had over 3/4 ton in the back of mine, once... I pulled full-size trucks out of the ditch; and my pickup was the lowest-end pickup available - 2.5 litre engine, 5 speed stick, didn't even have a bumper! The most I towed with mine (trailered) was 2.5 ton, I think. Didn't go very fast (especially up hills... ;-) but it pulled fine. BTW, receiver hitches are the only way to go for towing--- especially when you don't have a bumper! Excellent truck, but don't get "Steel Gray" - the paint falls off. ;-) They make a good rescue vehicle, as mine averaged 32mpg highway... For comparison, full-size Chevy short-boxes are roughly 6 foot 6 inches, IIRC, and std. boxes are 8 foot. HTH, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
