Trying to find a Tonneau Cover

So im confused. I was always under the impression that my truck was a "stepside" but im looking for a Tonneau Cover and i can only find one for a "flareside", among the regular bed styles.

Anyone know where i can find one? Am i wrong in my assumption about it beinge a stepside?

I call them stepsides too...Fords technical jargon is flareside. Buy the flareside tonneau, as it will fit due to its accurate description of your truck.

Actually, styleside is different. It is basically the regular bed.

I dont think I see anything in there refrencing that a regular bed is often referred to as fleetside. So you told him what a flareside is-does he not need to know what a fleetside is?? If he wanted one mans opionion he would have PMed you

Styleside/Fleetside= Stiiaght, (my kind)
Flareside (Stepside) = Lightning style (w/ steps, of course!)


Happy?
