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. ![]() Last edited by Shane; 05-28-2002 at 02:18 PM. |

I down-sized it from a pic. It is a design that I saw somewhere on the web, and I saved it. I want to try and air brush it on the back side of a helmet.

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

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.

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

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!!!

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".
