Re: New guy here.. whats your thoughts on these?

Most of the Fleetsides were long beds because they were work trucks, long bed=more payload. If a guy wanted a gentlemans truck they got a stepside. I have always heard the short Fleetsides had the low production numbers. If you can get relatively rust free parts from each and the 1K in new parts its a steal. Even the "bad" one looks like it could have some good parts for someone with a really rusty one.
