Does anyone still make em? Seems like they are all these short bed abominations now.

IDK but I hope so, a bed shorter than 8' is about useless. At least to me.

You can get em in 3/4 ton , I don't think you can get one in a 1/2 ton anymore.

I just sold my old truck with a 8 ft bed. The guy that got it said he been looking for awhile for one.

I wouldent own anything shorter than 8'

my van is 10'

Toyota makes some Tundras with an 8ft bed.

an 8ft bed is the best thing about a truck. Everything else is just fluff.

My Tundra Double Cab has an eight foot bed but it's a 2008 model.

my 2017 chevy is a 3/4 extended cab with a 8' bed.

my 2010 Tundra is a 1 seater 8 foot bed. I looked a while back then for one like it. Standard work truck. NO bells and definitely No whistles. I LIKE it!

I like the guys with the 8 foot beds then they slap a honkin big 2foot toolbox across the front.LOL.
I prefer the extended cab with the 6 1/2 foot bed.You can lock stuff inside the cab,and if you need more bed a bed extender is easy to slap on and off when needed.

That's the most ridiculous things I've seen in a long time.

Extended cab (to lock your stuff in) AND 8ft box. And airbags so you can load it to the gills. Most stock suspension (even the 1 tons) are too soft if you're going to put any real weight back there.

But the downside to any full size truck is they are junk offroad compared to the little trucks. Always a trade off.

I got a 2017 Ford F-150 2x2 with a 8 foot bed. Dealer said no one wants them anymore. Would not have a truck without a 8 ft bed. Don't know if you can get a 2018 or 2019 with 8 ft bed.

Anything other than an 8' bed is useless in my opinion. OP, I feel your pain. When I was on the hunt two years ago, I found the only used, diesel 8' bed in about 250 miles. LITERALLY! You can get them used but they are going to probably be fleet trucks like mine was so be extra careful checking it out.

my favorite was the 4 door 8 foot bed but it sure was long but as long as you park out in truck parking it's all good

my current is a F150 6' 6" bed 2wd with a small back seat but the price was right I added a ladder rack to carry lumber I can load a lot of wood on the roof , just got to take the corners slow when loaded that way

before that I was in a E350 15 passenger van seat 5 and

for hunting I borrowed a grain tote with a lid and put my dry stuff in there then coolers on top and strap it all down

guns across the back seat with other items I wanted close at hand.

AND, I've found that older 8' beds have parallel sides and newer ones have a tapered bed, that a shell from an older truck will not fit properly.

I'll just keep my "92 1/2 ton Chev going then, and my "78" Powerwagon too.

Long wheel base on an extended cab with an 8ft box wont cut it on the bush roads around here.Lots of washouts to cross,so shorter wheelbase is a must.

If the kayak craze gets bigger maybe there will be more interest in an 8' bed in 1500 size...12' kayak is hard to haul in a short bed without getting into a bunch of widgets. I brought my kayak up to the NTA in escanaba and Im not sure I could of done that trip out of my Jeep or a short bed truck with all the camping stuff I brought as well.

Go 8' or go home.....

Those were real trucks anyhow, Les. These new trucks are not what the old ones were.
