The trucks were available in Fleetside and Stepside styles with either a short 61/2-foot bed or a long 8-foot bed. There has been an increase in the interest in loaded longbed Fleetside trucks, but forget about longbed Stepsides unless you're looking to win an ugly truck contest.

That's just plain wrong. That's bedism.

Where can I find more info like what options were available, what the differences were between years and trim levels etc? I've got a lot to learn!

That article was written like it was by a newbie. These trucks have always been icons. There's just more newbies who now realize that. Over the decades I have had people say to me,"These trucks are really coming on",and I always reply,"Shoot...they've been on".
