Welcome to the board! Sadly there isn't much of your posts I can agree with. Hopefuly it is a contextual issue more than anything else.

Fleetside pickup beds (67-72) were offered in three lengths.

The "shortbed", a nominal 6-1/2' (78") was offered on 115" wb C-10 and K-10s.

The "longbed", a nominal 8' (98") was offered on 127" wb C-10, K-10, C-20 and K-20s.

The "Longhorn", a nominal 8-1/2' (104") was offered on 133" wb C-20 and C-30s. Of note the C-20 Longhorn used the heaver and longer wheelbase C-30 frame with basically a C-20 leaf suspension.
