You call a 9' Stepside a one ton or C/30 Stepside. C/30s came in two wheel bases,133" and 157". Until Longhorns,which came out in '68,the only pickup bed you could get was a Stepside on the shorter frame. There was no 8' C/30 Stepside. These trucks went back way back to the beginning and the last of them was '72. The Longhorn has less overhang on the back because 6" was added to the front of a standard longbed and none to the back. Many people don't understand and call the Stepsides Longhorns,which is incorrect.
