is this long or short
 

Hi all. I was thinking of buying this truck and the owner has told be it is a short bed, but looking at the pictures, it's hard to tell. It's a 4 hour drive to go look at it. What do you think.

Both Pictures are in a (trigonometry) view.

A lot of sellers do this.

You got choices.

Ask the person to measure the WB.

The VIN# can tell you alot.

Or drive and look at it.

If it is a good price, you may regret your hesitation.

Looks like a long bed to me. Below is a short bed. Similar angles. Gap between front of rear tire and rear cab is less than a door length on swb. Looks longer on truck you posted.

Thanks for the info. Good to know.

Thanks that's a good way to have him take a look at his. I sent him this picture and info. I'm also asking him for a side shot.

Re: is this long or short
 

We confirmed it was a long bed. He said it was short,,,, then said it was long. That was almost a 4 hour pointless drive.

Looks like it was a long bed that the rear portion of the frame was cut when the flat bed was installed to make a "short bed"
