Stepside bed
So I'm picking up a 1977 stepside f150 on Saturday and while showing the pictures to a friend he pointed out the bed is a little taller than normal where there different options or is it just simply the wrong bed?

On the outside measurement, from the rear of the fender to the top of the bedrail it is 27 3/4" tall.
On the outside measurement, from the top of the step to the top of the bedrail it is 29 1/2" tall.
On the inside measurement, from the bottom of the bed to the top of the bedrail it is 29 1/2" tall.
Hope this helps when you get there and see it.
P.S. I've never seen a "flare", only a "step"
P.Ps. I don't know anything about options on the bed sizes or heights.

First of all, the folks here consider it a heresy to use the Chevy term "stepside" when referring to a Ford "flareside", but since I don't really care one way or the other I just called my brother and asked him to go out and measure his 1978 F-150 Custom Shortbed 4x4 Flareside and he reported this to me:
