Re: Newbie question

Depending on what website you are on, LWB/SWB can also refer to a Long Wide Bed, or Short Wide Bed. Same thing with SBW (small back window) or BBW (big back window). I've also seen LNB and SNB for long narrow bed and short narrow bed, referring to truck with rear fenders (stepsides).
