Just wondering if you think that because of the center stake pocket. If not, how can you tell?

Factory short fleets didn't have a center stake pocket so that must be what he is going by. The bed side does look a little smoother where the cut would be made to shorten it but that wouldn't really be a good indication of work done there.
