From the picture it looks a little short. My bed floor is 7' 8.5" long.

Dan, check with the M715zone.com
You'll have to register if you haven't already, but they'll know how long a factory bed is supposed to be.
It looks to be the right length to me, based on the other pictures I've seen of M715's. If it is short, it's not by much.

The section of bed in front the rear wheel well, appears to be longer than the section from behind the rear wheel well.

Here is mine for comparison.
Measure yours, but it does appear to have been slightly bobbed.

Yup. It's been bobbed about 4". I dislike extreme cutting jobs, but that one is nicely proportioned.

That thing is worthless now, you can get it over to my brother just outside of Geneva, he'll get it shipped overhere , and I find some sort of use for that orphan.....
