Pickups with exposed rear fenders and steps were offered at the same time as the widebody pickups ever since the latter ones were built. Ford, GM, Dodge, Jeep, Studebaker, and International Harvester all continued to make "stepside" type pickups, even when the sold ones with normal beds. -- Last edit: 2012-10-21 05:30:24
Neptune ◊ 2012-10-21 22:56	The lack of a rear side reflector on the rear fender dates the pickup from the 1979-1986 model year range. Its probably even newer, from 1981-1986. The rear tailgate shows GMC embossed in the centre, indicating a C/K Fenderside, and belongs to the half-ton class.

Neptune ◊ 2012-10-23 02:57	The Rounded-Line’s cab and pickup boxes never changed from ’73 to’87. Only the front end was restyled. The small, narrow pickup box with exposed fenders was called Stepside (if Chevrolet), or Fenderside (if GMC) and was offered throughout the life cycle from ’73-’87. The larger, wide pickup box with streamlined sides was called Fleetside (if Chevrolet) and Wideside (if GMC). It too was offered from ’73-’87. Before 1955, all pickups had stepside-style pickup boxes. The Chevrolet Cameo Carrier was introduced in 1955 and its most prominent feature was its streamlined appearance, due to the controversial full-width pickup box, boasting sculpted sides. It was not a commercial success, partly due to the high-price and partly because of the new full-width pickup box. Even though the full-width pickup box was more practical for it could accommodate larger cargo, the public would need time to get accustomed to a streamlined pickup. In 1958, the Cameo Carrier was replaced by the Fleetside, which retained much of the styling, but dropped the high-price tag. The Cameo and Fleetside are regarded as the flagship of Chevrolet’s pickups.
