stepside

Truck bed style

Stepside describes a pickup truck bed with exposed rear fenders that bulge outward from the cargo area, creating a narrower bed but leaving steps or running boards along the sides for easier access.

The style was common on American trucks through the 1980s before wider, flush-sided beds became standard: My grandfather's old stepside Chevy is still running.
