Can anyone authoritatively say that SWB stands for "Short Wide Bed" as opposed to "Short Wheel Base" when it comes to these trucks?

In virtually every other context that I've come across, SWB and LWB stand for short & long wheel base.

I understand the desire to make a distinction between fleet- and step-side beds, but I don't think that's the original connotation of the abbreviations.
