I've done it again....

[STANGGT40]

Yeah, I always took "short-wide" to refer to the short bed, fleetsides because the bed is physically wider than a stepside bed.



I always assume swb means "short-wide bed".



That's how I look at it.

Ya learn something new everyday! I've wondered why people call them that...now it makes sense.

As far as swb/lwb...I've always thought they meant short/long wheel base.

[CRASH]

i've always wondered where the term "short wide" came from...i just assume that people misinterpret "swb". i mean, swb stands for short wheel base (as far as i know), and i don't think that anything is any wider on a swb vs a lwb. i hear people use the term a lot, though.

rheemo, that is going to be a great setup, and that truck is clean! i was looking for a swb with a newer fuel injected engine/aod for my daughter, but it's tough to find someone selling a nice one for a reasonable amount of money.

SWB- I've often wondered if it was wheel base, or wide bed, but there is a universal understanding as to what its referencing, so I never have asked the question.

Short wide bed (fleet side), as opposed to a short step side.
Yes, there is long bed, step sides too, therefore LWB is still a relevant term.

Short wide, as opposed to short narrow (step side).

That makes sense...the step side is a narrow bed...maybe that's where the term came from.

That's how I look at it.

My brother had a 68 short wide like the black one in the picture (with the trim and the big back window) in high school/ college. It was light blue with a white top with Western Cyclone wheels. It was one a really sweet truck and pretty rare in midwest. Wish I had it now.

Dad bought a short-wide '67 yesterday that's supposed to be in pretty good shape. Guess that'll be the next project as soon as I get this '54 Ford out of the shop.

Rreemo, where did the 6.0 come from ?

I wish you would buy my retarded next door neighbor's C10 from him. He likes to fire it up and rev it to the moon at a time of his choosing between 10pm and 5am.

Maybe Delroy Lindo is showing up unannounced?

[HarrisonTX]

Man, If I had a little more cash I would love to stab a 5.3 in my '69 3/4 ton. I have all the time in the world, and the shop to do it, yet no cash flow. Such is life. Looks good man. What trans are you hoping for?

[Mike]

I've got a friend in Bedford selling a fairly decent 1968 GMC. If anyone's interested in shoot me a PM for more info.

Looks like it came out of something with a big stereo. Look at those alt cables!

Dat mug be ballin yo!

[kpc01]

It's a 2004 LQ4 6.0. I've been looking for a 5.3 for it, but came across a good deal on this one from a fellow board member....$1000 complete with all accessories (inc AC compressor), starter, and harness. I'll just need a processor and trans now.

...yeah, the plan is to go FI with an OD tranny.

badass, thats exactly the setup I have been looking for for my suburban!
