Lets have some fun with the POLL function....
 
This debate has been around here for ages.....now lets see what the majority really thinks.....

This is only for fun....but I thought it would be neat to see how it turns out.

SWB = Short Wheel Base ! .....just to "stir the pot" a little. :D

all about the size baby... that is of the wheelbase:bowtie:

okietruck 05-28-2002 02:10 PM

Gotta agree with Big69C20 Toy - wheelbase not wide bed

RodC 05-28-2002 02:15 PM

Yeah, uhm, the last i checked no one offers a "Wide Bed" Forget the ford CHEVY debate, those of you who voted "Wide Bed" are really messed up........

just kidn.....

SWB= short wheel base. LWB= long wheel base. yes I still have the letter from GM on this from last time we debated about this and someone requested written proof on this from GM.

lux hauler 05-28-2002 05:49 PM

WB=Wheel Base:D

busterwivell 05-28-2002 06:07 PM

OK, SWB is short wheelbase.........then do you refer to them as SWB Fleet and SWB Step?:bowtie:

john 05-28-2002 06:09 PM

It was short wheelbase and long wheelbase before they even had wide beds.

68ChevC10 05-28-2002 06:28 PM

Yep. I got a friend who's lucky enough to have a 68 LWB stepside. That just don't fit in the wide-bed theory means of defining LWB.

Yup. Exactly.

greasemonkey 05-28-2002 08:37 PM

I just call 'em short/fleet, short/step, or long/fleet, long/step. Long/steps look odd though.

72chevyLWB 05-28-2002 09:28 PM

You guys got it all wrong. Its LONG WIDE BOX. Come on, geeze.:p

buckiken 05-28-2002 09:41 PM

My vote for Wheel Base

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 05-28-2002 09:41 PM

Yep, Chevrolet says WB stands for WHEEL BASE, I'm looking at their specs now, WB is measured from front axle center to rear axle center, Hence 115" Short Bed, 127" Long Bed, 133" Longhorn. It would sound kinda funny calling it a 115" Wide Bed, 127" Wide Bed, or a 133" wide bed. Those would be a pain to drive down narrow streets!!! :D :D :D

RodC 05-28-2002 09:43 PM

Wide Boxes!

Er... uhm... we're not talkin girlfriends or wives here, we are talkin about truck beds...

Pont 05-28-2002 10:39 PM

Well, in the back-woods part of the country I come from, a SWB is never a stepside. If it's SWB, it's refered to as a "short wide" and a LWB is a "long wide". If it's a stepside and it's a short wheel base, it's just called a "stepside". A long wheel base stepside is called a "long step".
