does your truck have steps right behind the cab on the bed? those are refered to as step sides.... fleetsides are were the bed just sticks out the same amount as cab and dosnt go in at any point...
ive only seen a few 73-87 longbed stepsides so i bet yours is a fleet

Not all longbeds where fleetsides, there are some long stepsides, but you don't see them much anymore. Also, there are a lot of short fleetsides running around.
Here is a stepside.
