It amazes me with the internet that people can't do the homework themselves. Rant Over.

I actually measured mine tonight (long bed) and it came out to almost 8'2" inside to inside.

We pulled the bed liner out of one of our shop trucks today and I was hoping it might fit. No luck. The bed is hammered anyways, I just wanted more free **** from work.
