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

I know, It took a while but here are a few pics. It took awhile to me to resize them. After seeing the truck in person, it is the cleanest truck I have ever seen. The paint is really dead and I think I'll be having it paint over winter. I was hoping to wait a few years and just drive it the way it is. I leave for work 15 minutes so I can only post a few pics. There were 2 build sheets, one under the seat back and one under the bottom. It even has the jack in the bag.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

What color are you going to paint it?

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

There must be some kind of buffing material you can use to shine that up some so you can enjoy it for awhile without having to paint it.

He has said elsewhere that he is going to preserve this truck. it is a very rare 50th annv short step with some awesome options.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Look and see if the original seat cover is under the added one, we stripped a 56 bel-air of three sets of covers to find decent originals at our shop, snapped through a lot of hog rings, but it was still there...also...NICE TRUCK

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Awesome truck!!!! That could polish out.I love the faded look,personally.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Looks great -- Is that a brown seat cover?

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

cool truck indeed!!!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I just got home from, so I'll be short. Thanks everybody(even the guys that hate me) for all the compliments. I'm not sure what my long turn plans are with the truck but I'm going to respect the 5oth. It is a radio delete truck, has the cover and no hole in the cowl. Isn't that a little strange when somebody ordered v8, auto, pb, ps, and a/c, but no radio. yes, the seat is brown, recovered in 2001. The build sheets are very brittle, I'm going to have to be very careful getting them out. It has the outside seatbelts, but when I removed the seat, no inside straps, bummer. The doors close like a new one, the doors even lock, all the glass is very clean, What little I drove it, it went straight down the road and I was very impressed with the power drum brakes. The stop with no pulling. I took the gas tank to be cleaned, the truck's been sitting for the last 4 years. I was thinking of putting a 2/4 drop with springs, what do you think? Anything that I do to it will easy to change back to original. EVERYTHING will be tagged and saved.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

One more question before I go to bed. To be honest with I wasn't even sure that they made a 50th stepside, although in the past year I had been watching for a short fleet 50th. In all the ads and market stuff from chevy, Is there pictures of a 50th stepside?????????

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Glad you got it home man, and it does look awesome!!!!

I think Longhorn said this was either the first, or only a couple of pics he has actually ever seen of a stepside! Rare man great score!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

You are a lucky lucky man.... nice buy!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

nice rig.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I can see why you didnt buy mine! Good luck with it, looks nice

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Thanks guys.
otsenre, I really was trinng to talk my self into the long road trip, thanks

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Very awesome truck! (And I hate you too!) Not very much! No Really,YOUR THE MAN!!!!!Congrats!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Here is a pic of the glove box door, and 2 from under the gas tank. I took it out to clean the tank before driving.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

How far are you going to strip it down? I'd have to drive it for a month or three...LOL!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

I only took the gas tank out to have the inside of it flushed. There was some nasty colored old gas in it. I plan on driving the truck alot!

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

GM's papers say the 50th annv aplication was avalible on all Chevy trucks.
The only models I haven't seen yet are the El Camino, panel truck, and panel van.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Man, that's a great truck. You did good, I think.

There is a short fleet that I drive past every day that sure looks like a 50th, at least from the outside. I've stopped several times to ask about it, but I havn't caught the guy home yet. It has sat in place for at least 3 years. I'd love to have a 50th. I parted out a C-20 'Burb 50th before I knew better. I'm still kicking myself over it.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

The search continues for you my friend. Now you can mark the stepside off then on to the next one. :lol:

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

You would be surprised what a good compound/buff job would to to that paint. There is a member here that just did that to a reb blazer and you would not believe how well it turned out!

Nice score enjoy.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Thanks, that looks good.

Re: My 1968 50th anniversary Stepside's home
 

Nice score for sure.... Im sure someone who backed out of the bidding may be kickin himself pretty hard when he sees this thread..
