My understanding is that “cab and chassis” meant that it was a cab and frame with no flat bed or pickup bed or anything else. Like an empty canvas ready to paint. The buyer could then add whatever they wanted. At some point (maybe even in the new showroom), someone added a pickup bed to yours which shouldn’t affect the resale value. However, without the SPID there’s no way to know if it was an original short or long frame unless you can find some cuts or welds on it. So your value may or may not be determined by that info.
