2500HD 4wd 8.1/Allison, xcab/sb

[coyote bill]

Does anyone have a 2500HD 4wd, 8.1/Allison, ext-cab, short box?

It's what I want but I don't know if Chev/GMC sell such a configuration.

I don't own such a truck, but I've seen alot of them driving around town, or on the dealers lots.  I think the extended cab/shortbed is one of the combos they make the most.  Most have the 6.0 but finding a 8.1 won't be that hard.

I've got one and I love it.  I broke it in right though.  Bought it the day before elk season, went in and killed my bull.  Anyhow, the truck is awesome.  Gas mileage isn't even that bad.  I get about 15 on the hw and about 9-10 in town so far with about 1300 miles on it.  What's really nice about the short wheel base is you can turn the thing in parking lots.

That's what mine is!  

 

You need to specify the 143.5" wheelbase for this configuration.

I have one which I special ordered in July and received in October. It is a great combination of power, comfort, utility and looks...perfect (except for the 10 m.p.g.!) truck.

That's what I just traded for..

I should have my new website up in the next few days w/all of the info.

Can anyone tell me the cons on buying the short bed vs. the long bed?  Besides the obvious cargo space.  Towing?
