There's only about a half a dozen people in North America that don't call them Stepsides...lol.

Red cab, blue interior panels, and camper special mirrors.

I still like it.

It is a Ford with a Chevrolet name. Hence Fordolet.

Question-

The the photo of the passenger side door shows a louvered corner.

I recently took the cracked and beat up map pocket bottoms off both sides of my truck to see if I can rehabilitate them after I finished my door projects. Both my doors are smooth across the bottom and corners.

Is there any collective wisdom to indicate what years saw which style of door design (meaning the design of the metal, not the panel)?

To the truck in the ad- I think I like the tie-downs on the fenders and behind the cab. Those Warn hubs look great, too - did they come as an option? I've only seen one with a set at the yard, and it was only there a couple hours with someone already taking them off as I walked by.

My '84 Does not have the louvers, inside or on the ends of the doors. Just smooth sheet metal.

We'll have to wait for Gary to chime in. I've honestly never noticed them before.

Maybe they showed up later on, 1987-up?

I think, with emphasis on "think", that the louvers started in '87. And I think the door panel itself looks like a later model one.

As for the hubs, those are an aftermarket upgrade. All of the manual hubs had the plastic piece in the center and not the brass one shown. Again, from my memory.
