Well you may be confused, but almost correct. Kinda like passing your first semester of Algebra.

Whatever this was, it is not a 133"wb thus not an original/intact C30. The frame looks like a K20 but frankly I'm not spending a huge amount of time dissectiong it. The only "Amazing" thing about this truck is the asking price and the complete lack of information, just fluff and stuff! Enough about the ad.

The bed is a 8'2" Fleetside seen on countless 127"wb Chevy/GMC trucks. A quick tell is the front pocket location and the factory seam that are present on a Longhorn C20s and C30s.
The front pocket of your example truck is in the front corner. On a Longhorn at 8'8" an extension added forward of the forward pocket. On the third picture the fact that the shorter existing long bedside was lengthened at the factory is clear.

You know if after all this you buy a SWB we might just have to sneak up and lengthen it for you! Camper mirrors as well! LOL

Really no matter what you choose I wish it to be an informed decision. So ask away.
