If no SPID, then a build sheet (under seat would help, IF it's still there) - but can't get out unless rebuilding the seat and ripping it all apart - unless you're lucky enough to have it between the seat springs and cushion face down.
Other than that - it comes down to an educated guess by the person onsite inspecting the truck. lwb's are not normally shortened to swb's at the rear behind the axle (without looking a little goofy) - it's normally done just behind the cab/bed junction. That would be the place to look for welds, fish plates, etc.

8" has to be cut off of the rear frame rails when shortening a long bed frame also.....
