You can check it in the photos. All the difference, about 20 inches, is
forward of the rear wheel.
Look at a left side photo. The distance from the front edge of the short bed
to the back of the filler flap is 17.5 inches. The height of the door
windows is 17 inches. A long bed is about 98 inches inside measurement.

> Thanks to Bill White, the only respondent to my inquiry about Dakota
wheelbases, track widths, etc. With his guidance, I found the FAQ section
and the table with the info I needed. I'm looking at a Dak on ebag not too
far away from me, but can't tell if it's a long or short bed from the
photos. The owner doesn't know which it is either (???) He says he tried
to put a tonneau cover from a Ranger on his Dak, but it was about two feet
too short. I would guess that means his Dak is a longbed, but is there
anything on a datatag, or other truck feature that would tell for sure?
