A typical giveaway is most people that cut them down leave the center stake bed pockets. If there are 6 it’s a cut down longbed. If there are 4 (and no evidence of being worked on) then it’s probably a factory shortbed.

Also, you mentioned you bought this from a 80-year-old that doesn’t seem like the type of person to cut one down.

Until you prove to me otherwise, I’m thinking this is a factory short bed ha ha
