Thanks for the advise on all the parts with the bed. I had not even thought of that. Also the problem with giving her the truck as a fleetside and "just see" is she is getting it after its finished, and I sure as hell don't want to finish a fleetside and then ALSO finish a stepside. LoL. Looks like I've found one for $300-$500 (step bed). Also, I do agree on the look, but I couldn't touch a shortbed for the price of this truck. Got it in driving condition for $1500, so I'm not complaining to much. PLUS the problem I have that I haven't seen many is also a benefit because it will not be a common truck out there. I have seen very few short stepsides in my area (southern Indiana) and absolutely no long stepsides. So at least we will know it's her when we see it. LoL

Also does anyone know about switching to a 15" wheel on these? It's got 16" 8 lug wheels as of now. would that just be too much to ask?
