sry i dont want to buy it, but which bed is heavier stepside or fleet? im guessin the fleet is heavier because my stepside is made out of fiberglass or some type of composite, not sure.

Yea .. the fleetside is heavier by about 150 lbs I think.

Why are you wanting to swap?

Dialup beware ... it's freakin huge!
I'll make it smaller though.

Look at Kueka's signature. His truck looks good too. It's a little better pic too.

It really looked good after I took all the side molding off. That made it look 1000x's better I think.

Here's a short one just for comparison.

i dont kno about the fleet sides, but my stepside gets real loose if you punch it. Feels real light in the back, maybe the fleet sides extra bed weight adds for a lil more traction? You can really get this thing sideways. I experience it when i pull out onto the main road and sometimes you gotta give it a lil gas to fade in with traffic. Anyone else have this issue?
