Long Bed Stepside
The Long Bed Stepside was an option offered by Chevy for the C/K Square Body trucks. Very few were made, and most of them made were used for municipal purposes. The reason for the low production numbers was the fact that customers ordering a long bed wanted the most room available, and the simple fact that they were just plain ugly. Now, in the collectors market, even though there were few made, they are still extremely undesirable.

A mid-life cycle facelift and mechanical upgrade was given to these trucks for the 1981 model year. The 1981 rework of these trucks several fuel saving techniques to help make the Square Body Chevy pickups more fuel efficient. An extra sleek front clip emerged. Dual Headlights were available at the deluxe trim level. These trucks also had fuel injected engines as an option. The stepside trucks became less and less popular during this time, growing fewer and fewer in production numbers. Other changes included horizontal marker lights and redesigned tailgate.

The Chevy "Square Body" pickups debuted in 1973. These pickups were revolutionary, as they looked like nothing else on the road at that time.

They were also available in a long Wheelbase (131.5 inches) and a short Wheelbase (117.5 inches).
