Well now its raining S10's:
1993 long bed, 137k, new snow tires, white Truck painted green, inspected to 3/14, $500.
1999 short bed, 206k, engine replaced 100k ago, AC works, nice interior, 4k on tires, needs muffler and exhaust work, inspected to 10/14, $800.
I'm thinking the long bed will go better in the snow. Supposedly 200# heavier but 10" longer wheelbase. Any thoughts on which would be better in the snow?
Its murder waiting for these people to return my emails (!)

EDIT: Just found weight distributions for the new 2013 and they basically kept it at 57/43 for long and short beds. I guess the long bed would give you a little extra overhang for tail ballast.
