What is the length of the SWB vs. the LWB?

What is a c10 8' bed - is this a lwb or swb?

Thanks.

SWB & LWB refer to the wheel base.

115 inches = SWB = Short Wheel Base (OAL -bumper to bumper = 188 1/2")
127 inches = LWB = Long Wheel Base (OAL - bumper to bumper = 207 3/4")
(wheel base is measured from centerline of front wheel to centerline of rear wheel)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are reffering to the length of the BED

Shortbed Stepside = 78 1/4 inches long X 50 inches wide
Longbed Stepside = 98 inches long X 50 inches wide

Shortbed Fleetside = 78 1/4 inches long X 66 inches wide (width measured at inside of top lip)
Longbed Fleetside = 98 inches long X 66 inches wide (width measured at inside of top lip)

The 8 foot bed would be a longbed...

hope this helps...

Also, you've got a *Longhorn* it is longer than a long bed, it has an additional 6" to the front of the bed and 6" added to the frame in that place. Which would make it a total of 133". Is that one right Longhornmail???
