Lizwood71,
The manufacturer (Arctic Fox) did NOT give you incorrect information regarding the 811S (short box model). It will fully go into the pickup box of a short box truck as Bedlam's pic shows but not in an 8' box. The generator box will hit the rear tail light and so will the compartment on the left side on a long box truck.......Look at Bedlam's photo of it sitting in his Ford F-250 short box (this is the correct positioning). You can fit an 811 in an 8' box but you have to remove the above mentioned compartments, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of the 811......outside storage.
Either buy a long box truck equipped with an AF 990 or equivalent or modify your existing truck to accommodate your existing 811. This is not "rocket science".
I also own an 811 on a short box truck.
Bedlam is a very knowledgeable member and speaks from experience.
