They`re no different than a longbed.The same width,just shorter.

Yup, somehow, someway, somewhere SWB got mistaken for short wide bed. When it actually stands for short wheel base. Ever time I see short wide bed I still get a chuckle!!

Well,since he was referring to beds,obviously,and didn`t differentiate between Fleetside and Stepside we can only assume he meant SWB,Short Wide Bed.Show me where it`s cast in stone what swb means.BTW,what does snb stand for?Sometimes in the English language we need to look at the context of a sentence to know what the intended meaning of the use of a particular word is.
I call`em Long/Short Fleetsides and Long/Short Stepsides,that`s their names,that`s what names are for.But,call them what y`all like.Somehow I`ll figure it out,chuckle chuckle.
