You're not going to replace the stepside are you?? I like the fleetsides but i'm more of a stepper fan on these trucks. Looks like the stepside in the last photo is in great shape

I agree, keep the stepside. Theres enough fleetside trucks, if ever do another one it will be a stepside.

I did the swap from step to fleet also. Looks like you got a decent looking fleetside. Did you get the rear (taillight) wiring harness? The two are different from step to fleet. Good luck with the swap out!

i think your truck looks great now. hell keep em both. one week run the fleetside the next run the stepside. your neighbors will either think you have two trucks or are seriously mental
