Standard would be steel, optional would have been wood.

Metal was not avalile in stepsides till the 88 model year.... ALL 87 and older GM stepsides were wooden floored.

Yeah,but`87 was the last Stepside.So,all Stepsides always had wood floors.From`88-on they were a resemblance of a Stepside known as Sportsides.They went from utility to sporty.
