LWB vs SWB

Hey guys i know we all have our different opinions on everything exspecially bed length of our trucks. What i was really wondering is how much heavier really is a lwb compared to a swb? Just a curious question. thanks

Re: LWB vs SWB

My long box finally got to me so I chopped it down last weekend. I just think that the shorts are more of a HOT ROD cruiser than a long. No idea on the weight how about 300-500lbs???

Re: LWB vs SWB

I think longbeds are lighter.They sure look more slender.
