Fleetside VS Wideside
 

Looking through the GMC Illustration Book for info for a member, I came across the page with the boxes on it and it was marked Wide side. Therefore shall we assume that Chevy had the Fleetside and GMC had the Wide Side?
I looked in the Chevrolet Special Illustrations book and it states Fleetside

This is from Mitchell which states Wide Side as well.

Odd and interesting

And a Stepside is listed as "Regular Pickup"

The 65 sales literature lists Wide Side and Fenderside

I have heard of that before, but the words "Fleetside" and "Step Side" have just stuck through the years, for both makes.

Chevy used the names fleetside and stepside, GMC used the names wideside and fenderside, Ford used the names styleside(fleetside) and flareside(stepside), And Dodge used the name sweptside and sweptline(both meant fleetside) and utiline(stepside).
