I like my fleet for the bed space but some of the board members pics of their steps when they are dropped just look bad ass. I personally don't see that many stepsides, anyone got production numbers on how many of each were made? Just curious.

Why chose
I say do both. Have both beds and just swap them out occasionally. WHy limit yourself. In fact just have one fllet truck and one step truck. Your wife will kill you but you will die a happy man

Yes, that would be The Southern Death Cult, then Death Cult, then The Cult. I've got most albums and rare stuff too! One of my all time fav bands. I like every album but the one with the goat on front-too grunge for me.

For a shortbed truck, i think keep the stepside. I had a 8' step, but just didnt like it as well as a shortie. I think the fleets look great in a long box, & have been hooked on this old Longhorn for about 18 years! At any rate, its your truck.......build it to suit you! good luck.......Crazy longhorn.
