Default Lightest body style?
Is a sportside lighter than a fleetside?

I would've guessed the same because of the fiberglass on the stepside!

I had a 96 step side and it was fiberglass. I let a buddy drive it once and he backed into a parked car and cracked it from one side of the wheel-well all the way to the other. You could see all the fiberglass threads hanging out everywhere!!
Last time he drove any vehicle of mine.
