For whatever reason, I've never given the fleetside much consideration, always the stepside. Maybe it's just that there were more of them around to be seen. Anyway, I've garnered a new appreciation for the fleetside with some of the recent images posted here. But this...this thing was meant to be a fleetside if ever a vehicle was. No flies on it.
It's interesting, the difference in style opinions. I don't like step sides. With those sucked in hips, they just look like they've been taking Noassatall. I like 'em with hips and cheeks.

I'm speaking of a specific era of truck, when stepsides were the rule, not the exception.

Now I'm the opposite, I prefer a stepside over a fleetside or whichever name you want to use for them. I'd guess part of it is due to my first truck being a stepside.

I saw this in Atlanta this morning, not a good pic but a sweet Jeep
I like how you can see the gap in the door even in this kinda blurry pic
Any CJ with a soft top is an example of being cold. Flattys had even worse heaters than CJ-5 and 7's .
I'd say you had to be REAL men if you drove a CJ or Flatty... Since I owned one of each and lived.... Bundled up good though...
There is an old guy here who has been bombing around town in a restored Jeep similar to that. He currently has some kind of hard top with removable sides on it. I've seen him riding in the heat, cold and even a little rain. I need to snap a pic next time I see him.
The maintenance guy where I worked would drive his WWII-era Jeep to work whenever we got a good bit of snow. One day, he picked up the elderly woman who was in charge of the Inspection Department, and gave her a lift into work. No top on the Jeep. Snowing. The woman also just happened to be full-blooded German. I just couldn't help but see some humor in it.
How happy was she when she got there?
Looks like the corkscrew to me - that is the direction the cars were running when I was there.
Ready to fight...
Actually, ol' Helga was a tough old bird. She appreciated the ride, and Darrel was happy to help.
I'm not a fan of the smooth-side beds, per se, but GM's '58/'59 was a beauty. I mean, it's no Sweptside, but hey...
