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.

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 !!!!!

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.

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

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
