Fleetside to stepside conversion...should I ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Man....that's something that I have been wrestling with. I also have a 82 swb and have a chance to get a step side bed from a friend and have been trying to decide which way to go. They both look good if the truck is fixed up right. They fleet side dose look more streamline, but I don't see as many stepsides cruising around. I change my mind from day to day. I think the fleetside looks a little better on a lowered truck and stepside looks a little better on jacked up 4x4s. It really depends on the over all look of the truck down to the color. Black should look mean with either bed.

I have a stepper and love it, I also like the fleets. If I had a good straight fleet side it would be hard for me to swap it out for a stepper.

Not much of an answer huh? LOL.
