Re: step bed or fleet

Kinda cool that it's about evenly split I like the step in the older trucks...but the 67-72's I like better in a fleet. Off topic, but I don't care for the fleet shortbeds; just don't look right to me

Re: step bed or fleet

I am a big fan of Fleet but I would have to stick with the step on that one.

Re: step bed or fleet

short steps are sexy... and these ones actually look good. in the uglyyears, the only way to make one look worse was to get a step side, then ford always missed the boat completely on this style... but these ones... theyjust look good.

Keep the step.

Re: step bed or fleet

I really don't have preference on the fleet or step. To me they both are great looking trucks. The only thing that matters is that it is out on the road and is making all the f*rd & D*dge enthusiast jealous that during these years Chevy had the best looking truck.

Re: step bed or fleet

I vote Stepside, IMHO you see many Fleets around but less Steps. In fact if I am correct there were less Stepsides made by Chevy, check the numbers.
