I like how you used the fender flares to provide some uniform between the front and rear wheel wells.
The fronts are old warn cut outs and the rears are bushwacker extenda fenders. Bought the front set with the fenders and the rear set off of a wrecked 89 stepside. It did work rather well, better than i thought....lol...there actually pretty close in style too. I was going to put stock fenders on but those rear flares popped up.
Thanks craig....much appreciated

What made you decide to put the newer bed on? Just because its diffrent?
I found the bed real cheap in near perfect shape on a shelf at a closing yard. I seen it on a truck years ago in town that was burnt orange and looked pretty good.....so what the hell ill try it....lol. Hardest part was to get a bumper to fit and look decent. I went with a roll pan instead with a huge set of tow hooks.....heres another pic...before it was green in black primer. but the only other pick from the rear i have for now. Its on a slope in front of the garage so thats why it a little funny....lol

Other than the late 40s and through the 50s, I'm talking Chevys and maybe a little Furd even though their fenders were like VW Bug round....I think these trucks were the only trucks that looked good StepSide. All the rest are ugly as sin and serve less purpose than a mini truck CC 4' fleetside. At least I can fit my quad in a fleetside. 
but that's just oneaszhole's man's aszhole opinion

I agree up until a point. I like the looks of the 98-2007 GM stepsides as long as its a standard cab, like my dads
I also like that look for Ford stepsides from 97-2004 as well, again, as long as they are standard cabs. I have just always liked the look of stepside pickups
Blech. Gm should have quit making stepsides after '98. I think there's a reason I see so few of those. No offense to your dad intended.
Getting gas today i seen the mother of all stepsides roll in...even complete with lots of rust holes. I wish my phone wasnt dead
. It was a late 70s 2wd long bed stepside, man was it ugly...lol.... painted right over the rust with some kind of rattlecan blue.

Lots of sexy stepside goodness in this thread!!! I gotta say these are my two favorites though!!!
Along these lines, when I lived out in Reno, there was an orange (and other colors) 68 (I think) 3/4 ton 4x4 stepside longbed that was always parked with a flat tire and a bed full of firewood about a mile from my house. I still to this day wish I had that truck!!! I haven't been out there in 14 years so, I don't know if it is still there but, I still think about that truck! I wanted to get that truck and fix it up SOOOOO bad! I wanted to make it a patina truck though (not body work at all, it was straight just had the looks of a worked truck) just a nice drivetrain, a lift, and some 35's or so on old school dog dish rims woulda been AWESOME!!! (IMHO)
Heck, there have been times when I have been about tempted to PM a Reno brother and tell him where it's at and see if the owner still has it and wants to sell! But, I am afraid it will end up being long gone, and the dream will be lost so, might as well keep it a fantasy!
