Re: My four generations of shortbeds
I like the 96 a lot. I want a later model truck with efi, ac and power windows/locks.

Re: My four generations of shortbeds
Yes, the 1970 C/20 was shortened, but not like everyone else does it. I have a thread on here where I show my different approach step by step. I wanred to keep the original paint and use zero bondo. I eliminated 56 feet of weld with my technique

Re: My four generations of shortbeds
Love that 53. I see where the pic was taken in early 2013. Any progress since then?
