Yeah that's for sure.

Sweet 68. That's just the way I like them. Any under hood shots?

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home pics added 7/15
 

Here are some more pics. I got the gas tank back in, put the mirrors back on, removed my spare tire, (my boy hated that), cleaned the rubber mat, door panels, and put on my other rallye wheels and bigger tires.

There's an article in the current Hemming's about preserving solid original vehicles instead of restoring them. I'm all for it. That is one great truck!

:cong:

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

gotta put that spare back on.looks great nice truck there.you did good

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Looking better all the time!!!!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

for the record... I still hate you!

I'll trade you both my heaps for it... deal? :haha: (if you jumped on it, you'd be an idiot)

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Those other wheels, and tires look great on there! I'm on the fence about the spare. I don't really like it on there, but then it looks like something's missing since the fender is concave for it. It's a catch 22

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I love this truck! Nice find! If you dont mind? How much did you get it for?

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

$5200.00 ebay

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I'm hoping to find a rear fender without the cutout to replace that one. I ordered a 2/4 drop today to put on it. That's about all I have planned for now.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

The side-mounted spare seems to be a love it or hate it thing with most people on stepsides.

I had to have a stepside, when I was searching for my truck, but it had to have a sidemount spare. I even had a tire-mount fender & bracket spotted, on a junkyard special, just in case the truck I ended up with was one without the sidemount.

Sidemounts forever !!!!!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Buy another fender and just change back and forth as it suits you!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

That's a good solution. More work than most people would want to do, but a good idea.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

That's what I'm going to do. Just like the radio delete, it came without a radio so I have another cowl to use. I'm going to put a drop of 2/4 with springs. Anything I do will be easy returned to original. I'll be keeping all the stuff I take off of it.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

i vote to KEEP the side spare mount my 67 has this..... ITS A KEEPER

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Very nice score. I'd love to have one that nice.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Congrats on the 50th!!! Great buy!! I dont hate you! I envy you!!!:metal:

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

VERY NICE!
I vote for not painting it (but it is your truck). I would even go as far as painting the tailgate the gold again & then put a flat clear on it to match the rest.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

That's a pretty good idea.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Found this while searching 50th trucks. What a great truck! Do you still have it? How did the 2/4 drop work out? If you have pics lets see them!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

i was talking about this thread the other day... glad it came back up.
Updates?

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

put trim on it and paint below the trim white !

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

naaaaa, keep it original-ish

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

i was syin that becase i thought you guys were joking about it being a 50th then i posted and then looked at the 2cnd page and seen the spid and the 50th paint code

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

yep, it's the real deal. Only verified one I have ever seen proof of.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I'm still around guys, but I was working 7 days a week for the last 9 months. Finally got back to 5 days 2 weeks ago. I did put the 2/4 drop, but I don't have pics yet. As soon as spring gets here I'll take some pics and post them.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

great buy :cool: :metal:

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Gotta bring this back TTT. I've got a 68 longbed stepside that I just got a set of buddy buckets for. The buckets looked gold in the garage light last night and I started to think about making mine a 50th tribute truck.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I have GOT to get to working on mine!!!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I got the seats done!!!!!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

those seats came out gorgeous!! but you gotta put a spare back on and cover it with a vinyl cover. maybe your boy would like that

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Wow, amazing seats
