Shortbed is known as as six and a half foot bed. 72+6=80 so the 82 inch measurement is good. Long beds are eight foot. That equals 96" so the 102 measurement is good. If they are measured on the outside of the bed as it looks like from the pictures this would account for the difference. Longhorns are nine foot so that would equal 108". The difference between a SWB and LWB is one and a half feet.
Man..now I'm all confused...
