Re: Why is it so hard to find stepside beds
Living on Long Island (ny) I could honestly say I've seen 3 total step side short beds. I'm always looking on Craigslist and only came across one long bed. I got lucky finding mine

Re: Why is it so hard to find stepside beds
Most stepside trucks were bought as work trucks or fleet trucks, they got used/abused and tossed in the scrap heap eons ago.
Deals are still out there, just have to be patient. I got my rust free (but banged up) tailgate from a local scrap collector for a measly 10 bucks. However, it would be nice if somebody reproduced filler hoses and a left fender with a gas door.

Re: Why is it so hard to find stepside beds

Re: Why is it so hard to find stepside beds
If you want to find more long bed stepsides than you can shake a stick at, just go to Saudi Arabia. They cant get enough of them over there.
