no they did not at least for 01-03 they are all i believe 5.5 foot beds but no step sides. and i also believe the 04 and up are 5.5 and 6.5 foot beds but still no step sides
THE EARLY SUPERCREW'S(01-03) USE SOME OF THE SAME PARTS AS THE FLAIR SIDES, SUCH AS TAIL LIGHTS, TAILGATE, TAILGATE MOULDING, REAR BUMPER AND BUMPER PAD. THEY SHARE ALOT OF PARTS BUT ARE NOT FLAIRSIDES!!
thats because the older ones(87-96) the shortbeds were the same size wether it was fleetside or stepside. just like on the rangers. thats y a stepside bed will fit. as for the newer ones, i seen supercrew bed on a ext cab at spring fling, and it didnt line up, as the cabs are different.
A CREW CAB SHORT BED PRE 1997 HAS THE SAME WHEELBASE AS A FLAIRSIDE. THE NEW SUPERCREW A SHORT WHEELBASE. KINDA LIKE THE MINITRUCKS OVERSEAS. THE CABS ON THE SUPERCREWS HAVE DIFFERENT DOORS, MIRRORS & WEATHERSTRIPS.
