It's been cut down.
I superimposed your image with a known stck bed...it looks like your bed is stock length.
Heres some compare pics, note the pics are the same size...almost perfectly...slight angle to them so there are minor differences, but they are very close...enough to make a cut down bed a very unlikely prospect.:

Superimposed at 50% of each:

Maybe its just the picture of stepside's, but it looks like there is less on the rear of the bed. Stock length puts the middle stake pocket about dead center between the tailgate and front panel.

Well...it does look about 6-8 inches shorter when I look at the individual pics...the overlays dont show it as well.
Seems like a lot of work for a short cut but it does seem like one.
How much $$? It looks like a nice truck.
A tape measure would tell with certainty whether or not it has been modified.
Get a tape measure. But I am sure the bed has been cut down in length.
It would be nice to see the numbers...measure from the rear of the wheel well opening to the rear of the bed or measure from the front wall of the bed, inside, to the inside of the tailgate...can measure on mine for either.
But I do agree, there looks like a snip was made.
Looks cut to me. The easiest way to tell is to compare the length from the inside of the back stake pocket to the back of the rear fender. Definitely shorter than the stock picture.
Agreed, it seems like a lot of work for maybe 6 inches or so.
