OK iv seen it put both ways swb stands for short wheel base and short wide base. I've always thought it meant short wheel base till I've came on this form when i seen it both ways what is right?

I always thought the following
SWB= short wide bed (Short fleet side bed)
LWB= long wide bed (long Fleetside bed)
SNB= Short narrow bed (SHort stepside)
LNB- long narrow bed (long stepside)

It really depends on where you are from.  I think we had this discussion here before.

Here it breaks down like this
SWB = Short Wheel Base
LWB = Long Wheel Base
and you either have a Fleetside/Wideside bed or a Stepside/Fenderside bed.

That's how I do it.  And I use Fleetside and Stepside.  I like stepside because theres not much of a way to get confused on that.  And the wheelbase has absolutely nothing to do with what style bed is on it
