    I know it's not an exact answer, but I'm guessing it will be a short bed? Which ever they call one that's 6.5 ft or under. I want to get a set of bed rails to use for a project that not listed in catalogs. The year is not too important. The newer model might be easier to find.

    I have a 2000 but it has a tool box over the front holes. I can give an overall bed measurement, if that will help any.

    Really just need front to rear distance,of the pockets. Like I said, it's for a project that's not in the books. They will be used for cargo rack rails on top of a fiber glass camper shell. It's the cheapest route I could come up without having to chop and bolt/ weld a bunch of pieces.

    Best I can tell by looking under the tool box, from end to end is 66 inches. This is measuring from the edge of the hole nearest the cab to the edge of the hole nearest the tailgate.

    That's what I found, but you'll notice no mention or drawings to indicate the distance of the bed pockets. Which I find a bit odd.
    I Have a 2014 with the rare / elusive 6.5 foot bed. Which at purchase time seemed like a perfect size. I didn't find out the down sides until well after it was payed for. My luck in find the oddball of the group.
