I'm just thinking it would be a shame to cut up a long step when people are looking for them. Just my .02 cents worth.

I plan on keeping it. I'de love to trade by the odds of me finding a shortbed fleetside or stepside in Federal Gray that has matching patina to the rest of the truck is probably slim to none.
