Re: Stepside or Fleetside
I've always liked a stepside truck, and I've had a number of them. But, for overall better looks and cleaner lines to show off a great paint job, you can't beat the fleetside trucks.

Re: Stepside or Fleetside
If your stepper bed is shot and your on a budget then I would use the fleet side.But you are going to have side markers on the front and none on the rear.You could add the back markers and call it a 68,or delete the front and call it a 67.If you have the funds,repair your step bed or find a replacement.Pls don't use the late model step bed.$.02

Re: Stepside or Fleetside
Fleetside beds will allow you to go lower.
Not much height to the rear stepside fenders.

Re: Stepside or Fleetside
fleet, sorry but steps look dis-proportional. only step side i like is 68stepbed with his dark blue truck, it looks good, but fleets are awesome. besides, steps are just a waste of good usable bed space or good looking bed wood.
