I miss the step sides. My Dad this truck when I was a kid. I would love to have one now.


My grandpa had a red & white truck just like that. You could always find a baseball or two at the bottom of the toolbox.

That sucker got like 6mpg though and had 2 gas tanks. When Katrina raised gas prices to like $4 a gallon he finally sold

One day I'm getting me another 89 Chevy single cab side step. Was my high school truck.


That was my HS truck also. Loved it. Until it left me on the side of I-10 a few times.

Modern trucks would look silly with a step side bed.

They go well will older square body styles but look at the Tundra and F-150 photos above... just looks wrong to me.

Not really the stepsides of yesteryear but Ford offers a little step thing in the bedside, and yes since they're so tall its quite handy. Pretty sure GM & Ram do as well.

I buy a truck because I need the bed space, not to ‘look cool’ while dumping money into a depreciating asset.

Stepsides were and are dumb, a truck needs bed space and the stepsides take away from that bedspace.
