It was actually quite common to see 1/2 tons with utility bed sides. They would start with a truck with a stepside bed, short or long bed and remove the fenders and install utility bedsides in their place. These were obviously cheaper than a full replacement utility bed but a drawback was they were not as heavily built/ sturdy I suppose this is why they were mostly seen on Half ton trucks. They were fine for lock smiths, appliance repair, Telephone companies, etc that didnt need a heavy built truck and bed. A few years ago i bought eight or ten pairs of 68-72 stepside fenders from a guy who worked for the local phone company. They had pulled them off of trucks to convert them and hung them in the rafters of a pole barn.
