Chevrolet Stepside – the stepped-fender load bed from the Task Force Apache to the C/K: six- and eight-cylinders of 3.9 to 6.2 litres, 82 to 184 kW, 1,490 to 2,290 kg unladen weight

Stepside does not denote a model but a load-bed form on Chevrolet's pickups: a narrow platform with external fenders and a step between cab and bed, common since the 1930s, which became the traditional alternative once the wide, smooth-sided Fleetside bed arrived in 1958. This page gathers Stepside models across several generations, from the late-1950s Task Force range with the Apache name through the 3100 and 3600 ranges to the later C/K pickups; export versions fitted with a diesel engine are included too. The combination of the Stepside bed with a six- or eight-cylinder engine remained orderable into the 1980s, after which the Fleetside form prevailed.

The register lists here 25 versions with 82 to 184 kW from six to eight cylinders of 3,859 to 6,200 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,490 to 2,290 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,086 to 3,468 kg, lengths from 4,750 to 5,100 mm and widths from 1,850 to 2,220 mm.

Among collectors the Stepside is regarded as the more classic and visually distinctive bed form compared with the more practical Fleetside, and restored 1950s Task Force examples draw correspondingly high attention; in everyday use it largely vanished from the market in favour of the wider bed.

Buying used, on Stepside pickups the rust condition of the external fenders and the step – classic weak points of this design – the soundness of the bed's wood floor, the condition of engine and carburettor on the older model years, and the originality of chrome trim and mouldings all count; parts for the Task Force and early C/K generations run through specialised US classic-truck dealers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
