Re: stepside shortbed?
I have never seen a short step in the 73-87 years with the spare mounted on the outside fender like the early models used. I think I saw one long step that had the fender spare, but that is it for these years or me.

Re: stepside shortbed?
When I first bought my truck, I wanted to buy a fleetside bed to replace the stepside. I have grown to really like the step side look...maybe because I just like being different?

Re: stepside shortbed?
Anybody got a photo of a shortstep with the fender-mounted spare ?
I don't recall ever seeing one in the "square" body style, & would like to. Obviously, I'm a fan, and am starting the search to replace my former truck. |

Re: stepside shortbed?
I remember you guys talking about the fender mounted spare, I'd never seen one but I just ran across this on Craigslist:

Re: stepside shortbed?
My dad bought this 76' new, round taillights, markers and fuel filler neck is low.
 I bought this 77' new, square taillights, markers and fuel filler neck was higher.

Re: stepside shortbed?
What do you guys think would be a good price for this bed? I wish I could get the whole truck but that's probably out of the question.
