Re: New Kid
welcome to the board... and you just proved something with those photos.
Factory documentation states you could not get the lower trim on a stepside. not only does yours have it, but it is listed on the SPID. Very cool indeed! Nice to know the factory installed lower trim did NOT go onto the rear steps. Looks like it was redone at one point too, with the upper trim added and the CST badges. Short step trucks are super sexy, and don't let the haters tell you otherwise! |

Re: New Kid
I think short steps look great. Get that baby knocked out just in time for you to get your drivers license. You'll have the coolest ride in school.

Re: New Kid
Welcome to the boards!!!
That will be a fun high school project. Get it running and dependable for when you can drive it. Plenty of time for the bigger mods after you enjoy it for a few years...

Re: New Kid
i completely looked over the model number too!
You are 100% right, a 34 is a fleetside. I agree with the comment of ditching the trim all together and going with the step bed. |

Re: New Kid
I did just notice something about your SPID that I tried to find out several months ago. 601 is normally "black cloth trim" but I was pretty sure that 601 was also used as saddle cloth trim in 69 but could never get a hold of a real SPID to document it.
Welcome from Kansas and thanks for showing your SPID. Jeff

Re: New Kid
Welcome from SC. I would ask the auto shop teacher if he has any plans that you could use the truck as a ginny pig. In a nice way though. I know here in the past our vocational school will use students vehicles to work on if they pay for the parts which you have to do anyway. Talk to him and explain your idea's with him he may help you out more than you think if it helps him with his classes.

Re: New Kid
Hi Eric!
Welcome to the board! Great project ya got going there and from your past history I would think you already know where you are going with it. Keep us updated and, of course, lay on some current photos. From the pics, it looks like there’s a nice body on the rig plus there’s been a bit of rust repair done already. You have a nice bench seat, good glass, documentation… a very intact truck plus a dad who also loves the beasts and has raised you on them…lucky you! Maybe start a project thread while your rebuild is still young? Thanks for the incentive…think I’ll go work on mine now ET . Last edited by ETsC10; 03-15-2009 at 12:17 AM. Reason: Wow! Just noticed the POSI..good job dude! |
