I wish I could find a stepside for my truck, but they are for the most part, all rusted away....
SOOOoo.. If you had the choice right now, would you rather have a stepside or a slab side???

 

Stepside by far is betterlookin than the styleside. A buddy back home found one from an 81(I think) after he wrecked his 92 F150. Looked pretty sharp.

I like them both,But I love my stepside

 

I don't really like the stepside look on the newer model trucks...I think the less box like the designs get, teh less they lend them selves to stepside styling. But I do think the older (late '90's) look better as a stepside.

 

i like the look of the slab side trucks better, i love my stepside, but if i could find a slabside box as rust free as mine, i would try and switch it out. any one want to trade?

 

you lose utility with a stepside, but i prefer the straight look of styleside

 

I'm more of a longbed styleside person myself. If I had to have a stepside, I love the 40's and 50's trucks!

 

trucks are made to haul stuff, and in a stepside short bed you cant haul much more than a couple bricks. i prefer the straight long beds where i have my diamond plate toolbox and still have room for my spare tire and a 4 wheeler.

 

I agree, I haul plywood and sheetrock on occasion and it's a lot easier in the styleside long bed.

 

Slabside, all the way... function is king out here. But I do have to say, if I did'nt farm, I'd look twice for a cool looking stepper from the '50's or '60's.

 

Hmmm, I think that lifted 4x4 stepsides look pretty good, in certain colors. (like texan1983's)

I still like the styleside better.

 

never really liked the stepside/flareside bed.

 

Matt, don't you dare!

You have one of the best looking "old" Ford trucks I have seen.

The next time you think about trading out the bed, try and reach something in the middle of it without using the step - that'll fix the thought.

 

yea, that's one of the reasons i like the step side, easy to get into my tool box back there and get stuff from out back.

 

I voted style side just 'cause I have one, but I do like the step sides.
