Hey guys, I'm back with another throw-together mod, just in time for Thanksgiving! Today was my last free day before some holiday travelling, so I threw this together this morning, though it's been stirring in my head for literal years... (Since the long bed and ext/crew cabs were added to the D-Series)
What this mod actually adds is a 5.5' bed to compliment the existing 6.5' and 8' beds. If you've ever seen crew-cab (or even some extended cab) pickups in real life, they often have rather stubby-looking beds. These are generally 5.5 footers. These are not currently available in BeamNG, and to my knowledge, nobody's ever made a mod for them either. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
See how this one is too long?
And see how this one matches the IRL photo much closer? It's the little things™
Anyway, since this mod was literally thrown-together this morning, it's got some bugs I won't be able to fix until I get back from Thanksgiving travels...
These bugs are as follows;
- No short bed accessories (Yet)
- No short bed trim (Yet)
- No dedicated driveshaft meshes (Yet)
- No dedicated frame meshes (Yet)
- No finetuned frame .Jbeams (Yet)
- No weight scaling (Yet)
- No included configs (Yet)
- Fuel tank clips the cab
- Minor UV stretch on short bed itself
- Body gap on crew frame is rather tight
- Some exhausts clip through the receiver hitch
- Probably more, but idk (Yet)
How to use this mod;
- Drop it in your mods folder
- Open the game and select the D-Series
- Open the vehicle editor
- Find the "Frames" section
-Select one of these frame options and it will equip the 5.5' bed automatically

Enjoy, and let me know if you run into any bugs I didn't mention above. I'll try to get them sorted asap.

I think I've figured out what causes this, it is only the crew-cab that's too twisty. I'll look closer into it next chance I get and see if I can fix it.

It's really not, but I think it's a good-enough start.
Thanks for five stars!

As I told Audifan1, there are 2 new frames added by this mod which will automatically come equipped with the "Very Short Bed". I'll take a couple screenshots and update the post with a "how to use" section just to (hopefully) avoid future confusion.

It's not a silly question at all. I did not make it very clear how this is done... In the frames section there SHOULD be 2 new frames (so far) call
"Heavy Duty Crew Cab Short Bed Frame"
&
"Heavy Duty Extended Cab Short Bed Frame"
Selecting either will auto-equip the "Very Short Bed"
