Product Description
Bradford Built | Stepside Flatbed (Steel & Aluminum) | Fender Steps, 4" Flip-Down Rails, & 30K Gooseneck
The Bradford Built Stepside delivers incredible deck accessibility and heavy-duty performance. Available in a rugged powder-coated Steel configuration or a lightweight Aluminum build (offering a massive 20-30% weight savings), the Stepside is designed around its wide treadplate fender flares. These unique fenders feature built-in steps that make loading and accessing your cargo easier than ever. Outfitted with 4" flip-down side rails, flush mount tie-downs, and premium towing hardware, it is an exceptionally versatile workbed for contractors and ranchers across the Magic Valley.
Available Flatbed Sizes & Vehicle Footprints
Flatbeds must be carefully sized based on single vs. dual rear wheel chassis capacity to ensure perfect wheel-well flare clearance and turning radii. Note: If you are running an oversized tire/wheel setup, call our staff to spec the 40" larger wheel well options.
