That's at least an 8 foot service body, so its not really a short bed, although the dual wheels make them look shorter. The shortest a 1 ton frame had a 133" wheelbase, which is 6" longer than a normal long wheel base truck. You have to take out the 6" to mount a 8 ft bed. Ask me how I know!

Oh! I see what you mean, now. He cut the back off the service body and lopped off the rear frame rails.
