It is your truck. But I like the 9' stepside. I have a art deco 47 with the step side and a 62 with a 12' flatbed. The 47's bed always gets more comments. It is older, but most of the comments are about how longggggggg those running boards are. Even on a Advanced Design or like your Task Force the step is longer than say a 1/2 ton.For work the stepside is easier to load than a flatbed. Good luck
