Default New Box?

So I stumbled across a step side bed on a truck with my color scheme and think I might like the swap. Any of y'all have any opinions? My bed at the moment is pretty beat up on the passenger side.

I like the look of the step sides. Smaller bed though.

The smaller bed doesn't bother me. Except that my toolbox won't fit. I almost never fill up the floor of my bed as is.

When I was looking for a bed I thought about swapping to a step side,only reason I didn't is because of the tail lights.

I think I will tint them to match the truck if I go this route. I will be calling tomorrow to get a price. How much was your new bed if you don't mind me asking

$500. I got lucky,I paid $850 for one and had it sent to Ford,they sent it right back. It had a nasty gouge in it that was painted over,the person it was bought from only deals with body shops so we expected a nice one. The bed I bought is perfect,no dents or anything.
