Stepside or fleetside???? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'd get the fleet, like was said earlier. Swapping from time to time would be my thing, too. I'd even make a frame for the stepside bed to use it as a trailer (a nice one) and pull it behind the fleet.

I saw a SHORT FLEETSIDE bed,, in good shape,,, Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow, but now everybody tells me how much they like my stepside!!!!! what do you guys think?!??? here's a picture of my truck you all know my truck!! what should I do!?

Heres my thoughts. The reason your seeing so many fleetside votes is that there are MORE fleetsides then stepsides. If there were as many steps as fleets the votes would be different.

I almost made this EXACT post today as i was taking apart my stepside. Thinking how i might want a fleet instead. ahahah

step ... less of them ...

wibilly · 09-22-2007, 11:57 PM

i like the steps on 66 and earlier better i also like the subs and panels of the vintage better but on a 67 - 72 it's gotta be a fleet

Im on the fence with this one I like fleet but a step looks good 2 I think if i was goig for a stock look it would be a step but for a full custom it would be a fleet.

With that stance and wheels it looks good either way! You've been hanging around this board way to long........not everything has to be built from the ground up you know.

Most people start a garage with walls and a roof unless they are building on a concrete slab!

Just messin with ya! I know how it is tryin to find a way to stay outta the mud and the rocks outta your back!
