Re: whats the deal?
Short Wheel Base, Long Wheel Base is correct usage as is step side and fleetside. I never heard of a short narrow bed or short wide bed until I joined here.

Re: whats the deal?
Different strokes for different folks I guess. If you come down this way and ask about a snb people are gonna look at you like you lost your mind.
BTW this has been discussed before: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...t=short+narrow

Re: whats the deal?
well as far as "correct" usage goes, out here on the west coast people would look at you crazy if you said swb when you have a step side bed.i think its just where your from that makes one "correct".i worked at a classic chevy parts supplier,new and used,and never heard swb being for short wheel base etc...but its neat that different parts of the country have these little nuances.

Re: whats the deal?
never heard of snb or lnb. If always known WB as wheel base, not wide bed.
I just call it a short step just to make it easy on everybody.
