The Rise and Fall of America’s Stepside Trucks

Описание: The Rise and Fall of America’s Stepside Trucks — once the pride of American roads and farms. From the iconic Chevy 3100 and Ford F-100 to the Dodge Sweptline, stepside pickups were a symbol of craftsmanship, utility, and style. Their flared fenders and wooden beds made them instantly recognizable — a design born from necessity that became pure Americana.

But as trucks evolved, so did the market. Aerodynamics, fuel economy, and modern styling slowly pushed the stepside aside. In this episode of Horsepower History, we trace the full journey — from their 1940s rise to their 2000s disappearance — and ask: Could the stepside ever make a comeback?

👉 Watch till the end for a look at the rarest factory stepside ever built.
