Shortbed/longbed??
Did the shortbeds on our body style trucks have the side markers in the back? I've been window shopping on Craigslist and found a bed from a "late 70s truck" but I know it's gotta be 69-72. I can't tell from the picture if it's a short bed or longbed. I need a whole new tailgate for my truck and I might as well get the shorty bed since it's so cheap. Let me know if it's long or short or what's going on
![]() ![]() Hopefully the pictures show up, I'm posting from my phone. there is a side view and a rear view of the bed, I am tell it's from our body style from either picture

.....that looks like a long bed to me.
Why not just contact the seller and ask? Coley

Re: Shortbed/longbed??
Based on the door frame, the cab might be an 88-98 (maybe even 99-07!)... the bed is definitely a 67-72... somebody really need a bed for that truck and which one didn't matter!
![]() If it really is an 88-98... not many longbeds were built for those years... it *could* be a shotbed, but you'd have to contact the seller (but it does appear rather long in the pics...) The tailgate looks really beat up. The area below the taillights has also taken a smack on both sides too. I'd want to see the rest of the bed before you get too excited.

Re: Shortbed/longbed??
Our year trucks all have side markers (68-72)except 67. The easiest way to tell a fleed sidevshort bed from a factory long bed is to see if it has stake pockets above the wheel houses. No stake pockets=short bed. With stake pockets =long bed. This one is a long bed. See the stake pockets above the wheel houses?

Re: Shortbed/longbed??
68-72 long bed.
in my area, that would be pretty cheap for a complete bed |
