Mine was 4x4 and I used it all the time to haul hood, and off road, and it did really well. If the truck could handle the weight the truck would pull it. It did really good burn outs too

Yeah I have been looking around for extended cab. And I know shortbeds are easier to park. Maybe I'll find something, maybe not.. who knows I might get lucky!

TBI (Throttle Body Injection) is some what more efficient. If nothing else. They are more responsive and are computer controlled. So no carburetor set ups or tuning
Good luck in your truck hunt.
Come back and keep us updated on your search

Yeah I measured my height accurately this time, and I'm actually 6'1 so that probably won't change much. But as I said I'm 15 and I don't think I'm done growing! But if I am a larger truck will be nice! Lol! But again thanks all of y'all for your helpful suggestions! I will really look into a 1/2 ton chevy!

Sincerely,
Ryan
