so I suppose they either did make them or these two had the same idea.

I suppose a vin check would be the answer

The stepsides were a factory option. Most that bought these got them for work trucks, so they were fleetside long beds. The stepsides were much rarer.

That bed is a Sportside bed that came out in 1980, prior to that they were the same bed with different (Willys) fenders and frame covers and were called Thriftside beds.
Early (Kaiser) Thriftside beds were available in 7' on 120" wheel base & 8' on 126" wheel base, AMC beds were limited to 7' on 120" wheel base.
