No it isn't.
There's a hand full of ppl who call them SWB/SNB...short wide bed, and short narrow bed, and then LWB/LNB which is the same but in long form. Personally I have never heard of a "nerrow" bed in my life untill i came on here, and all the GM books and papers call them short wheel base and long wheel base. I even said something at the dealer once, (I was there already B.S.'in with a civil war buff I know there) and when i mentioned it, he busted out laughing and told all the others there, now I am refered to as the retard, and a couple of them have tried addressing me as that.
