Pics of the inside of short fleetside beds

I bought a long wheelbase fleetside bed and i am looking for measurements of a short fleetside bed and pics of the inside of the bed. I read somewhere that the short beds do not have the middle stake pocket and i wanted to see some pics of the beds. Thanks for all the help

Re: Pics of the inside of short fleetside beds

Here are three to start out with. There was a thread about a month ago about shortening a long to short Fleetside, it had lots of information.

Re: Pics of the inside of short fleetside beds

I did some measuring on my longbed and shortbed
the difference where around 50 centimeters
the longbed was 254 cm 100" overall lenght
the shortbed was 204 cm (50cm difference)

To make a shortbed from a longbed take out around 22cm in front of the wheel arch
And 28 cm behind the wheel arch.
where?
On a 58-59 fleetside you'll have to take note off the "bullit"shape on the side
and the location of your bed cross sills

I hope this makes it a bit clearer
