The dent side frames were stretched 2" longer between the cab and rear wheels extending the wheelbase by 2". A SWB bump is 191.3 bumper to bumper so the SWB dent would be 193.3 bumper to bumper. The 211.3 length on the LWB checks out. My F100 LWB measured 18 ft+ but I have the rear step bumper. I remember checking that out after I built my 22' x 22' garage and pulled her in for the first time. Almost didn't fit :lol:
