I vote shortbed.

The vin isn't a sure thing. My vin says mine is a longbed so at some time my cab was put on its shortbed frame.

I drove 80 miles to go look at a truck the owner told me was a shortbed. The garage door wasn't even all the way open before I could tell she didn't have a clue. I told her it was a longbed, she said "no it's not, a longbed is 8 feet long". So I pulled out my measuring tape. All she said was "Oh". I just walked away.
