Well I remember reading it somewhere; I may be wrong. Also, you have to take in account that the fleetside is all metal where the sportside has the plastic sides.

Step side is made of a dent resistant urethane kinda like a Saturn. Thats why we cant really do body mods to the step side. Step side is about an $800.oo option. Also a step side is 100lbs lighter; as per GM litterateur

I know the sportside beds are made of Polyurathane ABS plastic... Just like the Street Scene rollpan.
