Rarely are long steps 'rodded, Or at least i have never seen a hot rodded long step. I think it's be way cool and unique if you did one.

I think they look great in 4x4 configuration with a little lift. I just saw one the other day...a little rare.

Not really rare or junk but they are different looking, lots of guys dont like them but if your looking for something a little different then you cant go wrong with a longstep

I would buy every long bed stepside I could get my hands on. Best looking truck next to a long bed stepside with a topless driver.

I have a real nice lwb stepside (67) for sale that i took in on trade on fleetside. I will probably sell fenders separate. But i am asking 500.00 complete except tailgate. I will say that it is about a #9 on a scale of 1-10. Let me know if i can help. Thanks

Nothing wrong with them at all. You don't see too many of them, that's part of what makes them so cool IMO

I saw a really nice blue '72 LWB step the other day. It was painted up pretty nice, with some slots and fat tires. It looked pretty cool and they only wanted $2400 for it....
