What year did the stepside fuel Door start?
I just finished putting the bed on my truck, so it is finally complete! It is a 71 truck but I put a 73-87 bed on it. Some people don't like it, but I think it looks great. To me the 73-87 Stepside beds are the best of all the years and I just sold my 73 Stepside so I gues sI was missing it, not to mention my existing bed was trashed and I got this new bed for $250, so it kinda came to me. Enough excuses, here are some pics.
I was wondering what year range bed this might be though since it has the fuel door? This first one was taken at MIDNIGHT in black night  The money shot:  Please excuse the pole  A couple more...

Re: What year did the stepside fuel Door start?
What's that chrome thing next to your license plate? Also, did you just screw your plate into the metal underneath the tailgate? I need to get rid of my nasty bumper on my 78 stepside, and I like it like yours better than a roll pan.

Officially 1979 was the first year for the gas door.

My last stepside was a '79 now that I think of it and it had the door... I know that truck was stock too... I like the sound of '79 better than '80 also. I'm callin it a '79 then! Check this beast out, talk about saved from the dead! This was my last truck, wish I still had it too. I love the 73-74 grills. http://www.grossepointegothic.com/mo...es/79Stepside/
