Some people will say swb = short wide bed and lwb = long wide bed. I'm not one of them. To me then swb = short wheel base, lwb = long wheel base. I assume fleetside unless someone specifies stepside, but that's just me and my lack of fondness for stepsides!

I am the same way,the last stepside I really like is a 66'tho if I went looking for a stepside it would be a 57' Now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a sweet stepside of any year, You just can't change what you like.
