72 C30 9 ft stepside

Just "Love" these! I'd say most of that truck has custom touches seat, paint, spare mount, and tail lights. Here is what they generally look like. My understanding is the stepside beds were "grain tight" allowing farmers to haul without loss and the wood beds continued and were offered as options on the fleetside beds for livestock footing reasons.

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone. Unfortunately it turns out the storage area I had lined up fell through, so I have to put the truck up for sale. I currently have it on autotraderclassic.com. I would like to post the truck for sale on 67-72chevytrucks.com, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to put something on the 'for sale' page. I emailed someone on the website but have not heard back. Anyone have any idea? Also, anyone interested in purchasing?

Thanks everyone!

Gee I never thought about livestock footing but I'm sure that's right. We used to haul a cow now and then in the old 71 steel bed and footing was an issue, lucky we never broke a leg on the way to slaughter.
