What indicates bed size?

I'm looking to buy a 2008 F150 but I don't see on window sticker (online) or sometimes in descriptions what the bed size is. How is that communicated? I tried a vin decoder but was surprised it was not (apparently) in there either unless it is GVWR related.

Wheelbase should tell the story.
Reg cab 126" wb=6.5' bed 144.5wb=8' bed
Ext cab 132.5" wb=5.5' bed 144.5" wb = 6.5' bed 163"wb = 8' bed
Crew cab 138.5" wb = 5.5' bed 150.5" wb = 6.5' bed

Hope this helps.

look at the photo provided and compare the distance from the gas tank lid to the rear of the cab.


gas lid almost touching back of cab = 5.5' bed

gas lid about 1.5' back from cab = 6.5' bed

gas lid about 3' back from cab = Heavy Duty F-150 with 8 ft bed
