I definitely have the Chevy style, the shorter one one the right in BB’s pic above. And it is not a fleet option. Mine is an original GMC with Deluxe Cab and V8, long bed. I planned to use a complete Mar-K short bed, so scrapped the entire long chassis (The motor was a locked up boat anchor anyway) and had TCI build me a new short wheelbase chassis. I was surprised when it showed up with a crossmember dip for the oversized core support you showed above, when mine matches the Chevy style. They had just built another GMC chassis for SEMA and assumed mine was the same. They fabricated new core mounts for me and were willing to build another chassis if that did not work, but everything is aligning well now.
