Guess someone just wanted to be unique. Not my style, but at least it looks like it's finished out farily well. But you guys are right - why loose all that bed space for "looks?"

I will give it credit for being unique.
It looks fairly well done from the one pic.

I may be biased, though, as my first new truck was an 86 GMC 2WD 2500 LWB stepside. It may have been the only one not painted tan and sold to Commonweath Edison
