Default need help, stupid question.

I have an 06 ram 1500 qc sport short bed. I am looking to order a cover on amazon and it wants my bed info. The choices are 75.9 fleetside or 76.3 fleetside. Which is it? I know the bed is a 6 1/2.
Thanks.

According to MSN Autos,

Cargo Bed Dimensions:

76.3" for both 4X4 and 4X2

dunno where the 75.9 comes from, 76.3 and 98.3" are the only 2 options listed.

Well, thanks for the help. Went back to the site and tried both options which I should have done before. When I choose 75.9 and select the Lund cover I was able to find where it said fits 76.3. When I choose 76.3 it says this cover will fit your truck 76.3.
So, 76.3 it is. Thanks for the help.
