There's not a whole lot of difference in length. The long bed is 8' and the short bed is 6' 9". The gas door is a good visualization to tell the difference. IIRC it is the same distance from the front of the bed. If the door looks like it's in-between the front of the bed and the wheel well (just in front of the flare), then it's the short bed. If the door looks a lot closer to the front of the box, then it's the long bed. At a distance (without the gas door reference) it is sometimes hard to tell the 1' 3" difference.
