I am real. In 2015 we bought a CC SB 3500, the first short box in 41 years. All the in between long box truck were Std Cab models and fit in garages. The long box RAM CC would have not have been a good fit in the garage we had when we bought it. We brought home a young saleman and an extended cab Ford long box to try in a garage in the mid 90's. Front bumper was inches from the wall for the garage door to close.

Moral of the story is like millions of others we have learned to live with short box truck. Snowbirding we see everything regarding TVs, and a great number are RAM 3500, GM 3500 and Ford F350 short box trucks. What one sees on dealers lots can vary a lot by region to region.

Another thing that has changed is that the long box that was considered the standard box has now changed to the short box be called the standard box and the one 1.5' longer is called the "long box"

BTW, I have a B&W manual slider, and use it all the time so the latch handle will clear our front bed box. So I have little worry about cab/window contact.
