GMC Stepside – the narrow bed with exposed rear fenders of the full-size pickups: V8 engines from 5,700 to 7,450 cm³, up to 182 kW, unladen weights from 1,550 to 2,156 kg
Stepside is not a separate model line at GMC but the narrow load bed with exposed rear fenders usable as steps, which General Motors offered across several generations of its full-size pickups as an alternative to the wide Fleetside bed. The Stepside versions listed in the register come from various model years of the C/K range.

The register lists here 6 versions with up to 182 kW from V8 engines of 5,700 to 7,450 cm³, unladen weights from 1,550 to 2,156 kg, gross weights from 2,177 to 3,130 kg, a length around 4,864 mm and widths from 1,760 to 2,040 mm.
The Stepside bed recalls the pickup's origins in pre-war truck building and remained a retro option at GMC and Chevrolet into the 1990s, while the wider Fleetside bed had long since become the best-selling form; today it appeals mainly to collectors and enthusiasts of the classic pickup look. Many owners today treat a Stepside as a restoration project rather than a daily working vehicle, and prices reflect the body style's growing collector appeal.
On a used example, rust on the exposed fenders and load bed, the condition of the carburettor or injection of the large-displacement V8, wear on the clutch and rear axle on the more powerful engines, and the originality of the Stepside sheet metal, which is rare in the parts trade, count.
