    I should know this since I have changed out a few sets of flares, but I can't find the size written on a set I want to buy. the seller is not sure of the size of the flare, but he thinks it's a short bed. I know on my long bed flares it is stamped right on the back of the flare "long". Maybe the shorts just don't say anything and that's how to tell the difference?

    I’ll be honest, never paid any attention to the length difference.
    Didn’t even know it was stamped?
    I have a long bed, so I can’t help you there.

    Is the seller selling the flares off his truck, purchased it 2nd hand but didn’t install, or did he order it but didn’t install?

    He's selling his stock flares and doesn't know the difference between the long and short bed apparently. He sent me a photo of the backside of the flare, but it doesn't say anything on it.

    Ask him to measure the bed of what they came off of.

    Simply asking him to send you a pic of his truck from the side will be all you need

    He didn't want to, pretty douchey of a seller. I am pretty sure I just confirmed they are short bed, as they have 10 flare clip holes, the long bed have 11.
