If they've gone through the trouble of hiding the frame and cutting out/removing the stake pockets... a lot of people don't seem to know about this. ALL longbed and longhorn trucks have a CURVED radius in front of the rear wheel whereas on shortbeds, blazers, and suburbans the area is squared off in front of the rear fender.

Of course, this only holds true if the bed was cut down... they could always use an aftermarket bed or real shortbed sides.

1st pic is longbed with curve, second is shortbed squared off.

Aside from high dollar restored CST's and Cheyennes... I really don't believe a cut down truck hurts the value much. I would question the work and inspect it thoroughly, and if done right, I would pay as much for a cut down truck as a "real" one. It definitely INCREASES the value of truck (that was once a longbed), as I think we could all agree that any shortbed, cut down or original is worth more than a longbed in the exact same condition.
