I’ll probably start an argument with this comment but hey at least you get a comment for the YT algorithm. I grew up thinking SWB meant Short Wheel Base but I’ve been hearing on this channel and others referring to them as Short Wide Bed. The argument being a Wide Bed is a flare side and a narrow bed is a step side. My argument is I’ve never heard a step side referred to as SNB or Short Narrow Bed. Maybe I’ve been wrong all my 65 years, dunno. Anyway the IH is looking good. 👍🏻
Your thinking is correct. The correct nomenclature for the beds are; Long wheelbase fleetside, short wheelbase fleetside, long wheelbase step side, and short wheelbase stepside. Overtime these have been shortened to just Short wide, long wide, most usually short stepside and long stepside. My Ford knowledge is a little weak, but I think Ford uses Flare side for their step sides and Styleside for their wide boxes. I use "short wide" because it gets the point across without having to explain what a fleetside bed is or what wheelbase means.
You make look so easy
I appreciate the accolade, but I have burned holes in a lot of sheet metal. I still have to pay close attention to the weld puddle when I am welding.
