AS you have seen, the standard bed is 8' long. 6.5, 6 and 5.5 foot are all called short beds. Personally, I would not want a short bed as you have to deal with potentially hitting the cab with the trailer and to haul 8' long boards or a 4' x 8' piece of plywood, the tail gate has to be down.

Well, if you were to go to GM and order a "Standard" bed thinking you are going to get an 8' box, you will be sadly disappointed, GM refers to the 6'6" box as standard on their HD trucks and long for the 8'.
Because no one wants to have something "SHORT".
