Re: 67-72 swb
No such thing as a Short Wide Bed. I try not to correct people when they say that, but sometimes I can't help myself as it's a pet peeve of mine!
....."you mean, Short Wheel Base?" ![]() Oh, sometimes if I'm being 'nice' I'll ask if they mean fleetside or stepside...

Re: 67-72 swb
GM use the acronym SWB as a definition for the 115" wheel base trucks for the 67-72 year models.
Good enough for me. |

Re: 67-72 swb
I think the "Short Wide" term is a mid western thing!

Re: 67-72 swb
And looks like the correct definition is..... SHORT WHEEL BASE
But call it what you like its your truck.

Re: 67-72 swb
It`s ok to call a truck a short wide bed if that`s what it is.But,it`s not abbreviated as swb because that stands for short wheel base.Fleetside is a wide bed...Chevy.But,a GMC is a Wideside,a Dodge is a Sweptline,and a Ford is a Styleside.So,for a name that fits that general configuration "short wide bed" covers it just fine.It`s generic.Is a Stepside a snb?...No.It`s funny though,people call all the makes Stepsides when the GMC is a Fenderside,a Dodge is a Utiline,and a Ford is a Flareside.After`87 the GMs are called Sportsides.I rarely see anyone use the right names,though.
