What is considered a Short or Long Box

Another 'newby' Question

I am reading the "AF and 2005" Dodge thread

They refer to a 6'4 box as a long box I was thinking that would be a short box and 8' would be long!!!

I tried a search but no luck.

Set me straight here

Thanks

    Where did you read that? Do you have a link?

    Rick, some of the literature published from Northwood can be a bit confusing when it comes to camper fit on 6'6" and 8' beds.

    That would be a shortbox, the 8' is the long box.

    Next up, you will get someone in here to point they come with a 5.5' bed too. Yes, the 1500 series trucks do.

    eta: beat!

    Long box is 8 feet.
    Standard is 6 and a half
    Short is 5 and a half feet

    I consider 8' as a long box, and mid 6' 6"+ as a short box.
