currently LWB-Fleet. Want SWB or SWB-Step

Now '68 C10 LWB-Fleet

I was thinking about changing beds. Is the Short Wheel Base the same length as the step side bed? I know I will need to modify my frame etc., but curious if the SWB and Stepside are the same size.

Re: currently LWB-Fleet. Want SWB or SWB-Step

Which is "correct" for forum usage?

SWB = Short Wheel Base
SWB = Short Wide Box

I know I was slightly confused when I first started browsing here as I just assumed SWB referred to wheelbase. Eh..minor detail.
