How Long Is a Chevy Short Bed Truck?

Chevy short bed trucks have long been popular for their reliability, efficiency and affordability. Chevy short bed trucks are generally considered to be the most popular choice for those looking for a dependable vehicle that is also economical.

The length of a Chevy short bed truck varies depending on the model year and engine size. Generally, a Chevy short bed truck will measure between 6 and 8 feet in length from bumper to bumper. This measurement is taken from the outside of the vehicle including the tailgate, which adds an extra foot to the overall length.

The most popular models of Chevy short bed trucks are the C/K series, which was produced from 1960 to 1998. The C/K series includes pickup models ranging in size from mid-size to full-size, with engine sizes that range from 4 cylinders up to 8 cylinders. These models come with either a 6 or 8 foot long bed, while some of the larger models may have longer beds as well.

The most recent iteration of the Chevy short bed truck is the Silverado 1500, which was introduced in 1999 and is still in production today. The Silverado 1500 has a range of engines available as well as different cab options and trim levels. The most common configuration is an extended cab with a 6 ½ foot long pickup box, though there are other configurations available such as regular cab with an 8 foot box or crew cab with a 5 ½ foot box.
