From the '30s well into the '70s you could get factory 9' stepside beds.
They were and still are a good idea, they're much easier to load and unload, particularly if you're shoveling and//or sweeping!
Often, if you're loading something like lumber, the extra space around the wheelsells in a fleetside isn't useable anyway, and those big sturdy steps on a stepwise really made it easy to reach the front.
I carried my first camper on a '59 Chevy stepwise 3/4 ton. And I carried all sorts of other stuff with it.
Those long stepsides really did work great.
