I had a Ford Ranger several years ago that had a step side bed. Looked ok but the Ranger didn't have the biggest bed anyway and the stepside shrunk it to the point where it would just about hold a shoebox before it was full. I personally wouldn't have another one.

Our family grocery store had one we used for home deliveries. The step was ideal for that. That was one of the sweetest jobs a teenager could ever have.

No more useless that the 5 foot beds on the majority of the trucks today. Blows me away seeing a mega cab Dodge / Ram with a micro bed on it. Crew Max Tundra with a 5 foot bed when you can get the regular short crew cab with an 8 foot bed just doesn't make sense. While at the Houston Supercross a few years back(where people who own and haul dirt bikes in their trucks go...) I asked my Toyota marketing rep buddy why the hell they can't at least put a standard 6 1/2 foot bed on the Crew Max and he tells me that no one wants it. I told him Toyota was just damn stupid. Later that evening they had the Toyota Tuff Block challenge where fans get to race to fill the bed of a Tundra with the foam haybales. Funny shit when they went to shut the gate and the damn thing fell off. Laughed my ass off and snapped a couple pics.

It made sense on old trucks if you were using it to haul gravel or something. I'm thinking late 60s Dodge 3/4 ton. Also makes a nice place to permanently mount fuel cans, spare tires, high lifts, etc where they won't get in the way of the cargo.

I would argue that that truck was a final gasp of American greatness. The government left a loop hole in the regs you could drive a truck, that truck, though. |

i liked mine when i had it. was easier to get in and out but hardly ever used the bed so loss of space wasn't a bother.
not to mention when your hands are full gives you a spot to put stuff down to open the door.

Never understood those and they look like shit. What's not to understand? They are there to help you step on to make it easier to reach into the bed from the side. They aren't there to look cool. They are there to perform a useful function. If you can get by with a little less volume in the bed they can be quite convenient. |

It never bothered me. I could still fit a sheet of plywood on the floor just fine.
I sold it though when gas was over $4.00 and it just sat in the driveway, couldn't justify payments when I wasn't using it.
