Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Nice looking truck, Chop! Ok, now I'm back to wanting torque thrusts on mine ;) How much drop do you have, and what size tires are you running?


She's still at a friend's garage and working on it every chance we get. Added a new Accel dizzy, new plugs, (need wires) rebuilt the carb, added an electronic choke, adjusted valves, brought the compression up to 110lbs from 60. Trying to get the new fuel gauge operational, gotta swap a new heater core tomorrow, get a new fuel pump, get the gauge cluster (bezel) back in and steering wheel on, get the Custom/10 badges on before we toss the inner fender wells back in place, toss on a set of 68/69 camaro mirrors,..(yep, I took the others back and exchanged them as per your and dg's advice, ;) melt the orange and black paint off the grille tomorrow with "Air Craft Remover"(?) so it will be ready for the bumper dg is sending, ..oh, and get a functional horn..lol.

Just chipping away at the stone and making a little, but steady progress. :metal:

How about some new pictures of more stepsides. You know they're out there...
#TeamStepside.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I think I like the black best as well. Red would be 2nd choice.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

:agree:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Ok, thanks chop. I'm guessing you're running 15x8 front and rear?

Yep, we made plans last Saturday night to pull all the garage bay doors shut, and turn off the "Open" sign @ 6:00pm and start working on it. I got there around 5:00pm to help finish up last minute jobs, but it was 7:30pm before we started working on mine. We did indeed have a blast!!

We had beverages in the fridge, a HUGE plate of fried chicken my wife had made and we jammed on Led Zepplin the Entire night as we worked on my truck until approx. 3:00am Sunday morning.

It was, without a doubt, the greatest time I've had (working on a vehicle) in years!!


Dan, you already know my opinion, but just for the record:
1. Red
2. Black
3. Silver

Oh, and that website we were talking about earlier is:

http://www.stocktonwheel.com/

One of these days, I hope I can order a set of wheels from these guys. The prices are "relatively" decent, and the customer service is/was Awesome!!

I'll check on getting a photo of the rims they made for my friend, and send it to ya.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I really wish we would hear something from him. I'm seriously getting a little worried now. He seems like a very cool guy that really deserves to have that truck delivered to him safely.

I'm hoping at this point that it did arrive, everything worked out fine with shipping, the truck is everything he hoped it would be and he's just too busy spending time with it to jump on here to drop an update.

sighh...really wish he would jump on here and drop an update though :(

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Here's one I could get if I had the funds

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Heres my 69 :chevy:

as always thanks for your input, I as well hope everything went well with the Truck delivery for Sighh.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I've been great...still working on my interior.
I'm really liking the Rally wheel look.:metal: And it's not as expensive to put together vs a new set of 18/18 and tires.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Pdjsammich nice looking truck good job :metal:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Here's my orange C/10 Stepside. Been running it since June '73 -- 3 months short of 40 years. Original 516 Orange with desert patina. Factory stance -- sort of. Lotta miles, Lotta good times. Freshly rebuilt 292 in '05. Would've posted years earlier, but I just got high speed. On the old dial up it took 45 minutes to upload one jpeg!
Looks like it still takes a long time.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

JBlaust is fine...he will post soon

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Great thread...I wonder if I posted any pics in this thread? James....I definitely need to get those step stickers from you.

Here is my contribution to this thread:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Appreciate the kind words guys.

502MS, really dig your truck. Been reading up on your build thread over the last few days. You've inspired me to try out some trim rings on my steelies. Eventually trying to get a similar stance to what you have. I'm bagged on stock suspension at the moment, but have some drop spindles coming to me. After I wrap up the front, then I'll be notching the rear.

Sharp looking stepsides in this thread!!

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

:gi:

Thanks for the update 502 ;)

Bugz, if you're seriously thinking of switching to rallys, I can't Wait to see it!! But I'm hoping you'll also go/stay with 10" on the rear though. :smoke:

I'm not sure if you guys caught that link I posted for stockton wheels, but just in case, here it is again. I know first hand that they make some Very nice rims, and can chrome or powder coat any color, any wheel you want.

Sid,
Currently I'm looking for a thinner (15x6, 7 or 8") matching Centerline for the front. Is have a WTB posted in the For Sale section of this forum. I also like the 10" wide look. It has become obvious that the lowered Stepside is very popular with Rally's or 15" wheels. 15x10 and 15x6,7 08" Rally's would look nice. I like the taller or newer wheel look, but the low fat tire look is what attracted me to my truck in the first place. When I get real serious about putting new rubber on, I'll make my final decision.
Thanks for the link....it would be nice if they showed some prices.
