One way to tell if it was built as an 814, check to see if the main driveshaft has a carrier bearing attached to a crossmember. 6 feet behind the rears is about right for a 20' bed.

I am almost 90% sure you have an 813, that someone has grafted some steel onto the rear of. If it was an 814, you would have the center carrier bearing for the driveshaft, a double wall frame from the front to the rear of the rearmost axle, and 38" of space from the rear of the fuel tank to the front of the mudflap. You would also have an under the bed spare tire carrier also.
