Re: how rare are long bed step sides?
I have speculated about what it would look like to widen one of these, put in tubs inside, and put on a dually, then add a spare on each side for good measure to utilize that extra gap in front of the fender. might look better on the 73-80s

Only seen one in my life in Huffman, Tx. I actually like it alot, I have a swb and now I see that I'm older that swb are kinda waste of money, limited hauling room. I would love to own a lwb stepside.

Re: how rare are long bed step sides?
I picked up this '80 for 100$ Without fenders or tailgate I figure the long bed steps would be more rare ? Not sure if re poped or not.

Re: how rare are long bed step sides?
longbed are cool well worth restoring, rather than wasting your time restoring a short bed that when you get done all you have is a car without a trunk lid.they are just plain worthless.

![]() I can remember seeing 3 complete longbed steps over the years. One C30, delivered rock salt; one C20, roofer's truck; and I think the third was just parked somewhere. I don't see many over here in WA.

Re: how rare are long bed step sides?
Really? Thats funny considering I have made a nice living driving my "useless" CCSB for work trucks. Just because you dont like something does not mean it doesnt have a purpose.

Re: how rare are long bed step sides?
Wow--- can't believe I haven't seen this thread before--- I own TWO long bed step sides - 1977 C20 Custom Cab 2wd w/292 L6 bare-bones fleet vehicle, owned it since 1985 and while mechanically it's good to go, its body is still very rough.
My other project a 1986 GMC C3500 Sierra 2wd w/SB long-bed, bought on auction for $600, also another fleet vehicle that was drive-able but needed a lot of mechanical to pass smog, etc., meanwhile, after about 6 years of faithful service it's 350 needs heads redone at the very least. Personally, I've only seen maybe 5 or 6 other long bed steppers besides mine and am always on the lookout for... BODY PARTS~!!! The bed sides mainly, because once they get beat to he** (which mine are) original sides in decent shape are almost impossible to find and I don't want after market sides - seen 'em before up close and they don't compare to originals. Ciao~!

Re: how rare are long bed step sides?
IMO, you have very good taste in trucks dondb. Your long step looks has that nostalgic traditional look.
