Here is what I know:

The vin is for a longbed.

The previous owner said it was shortened by a fabricator a long time ago (80s-90s)

The bedsides have been repainted. It’s the only part of the car that’s been repainted.

So it appears that the evidence points to the truck having been cut down at some point. I don’t see any evidence on the frame rails but I’m no expert.

I’ll have to take some pics so you guys can see for yourself and give me your opinion.
