I'm not certain, but that story sounds really far fetched to me. If GM were going to build a 1 ton shorty, they would have tooled up to build a frame for it, not cut a long bed frame. I don't think a dealer would shorten a frame either...
AFAIK, the 3/4 and 1 ton squares were all long beds. Sounds like someone shortened it after it was new.
