69 build about done
Well its finally about done. Took it to bare frame, this is the first one i have taken this far. Its a 69 Shortstep, Air,Tach,Van tilt, buckets/console. 8"lift, Braided brake lines, New 35" BFG mud terrains, 350/350 w/ 205 TC. Just wanted some chrome not to goddy so I had taillight and back up brackets chrome, chains, stainless mirror arms, the door latch mounted to cab is chrome, upper radiator chromed, tons of chrome or stainless bolts, T-case shifter handle, Installed Blazer tank. The glove box door, ashtray,radio delete, etc. Been fun doing this one But screwed up and lifted it to tall for me to get in, ( Im in a wheelchair ) Soooooo someday might sell or maybe just sit back and look at it in the shop. lol MORE PICS TO COME SOON OF FINAL PRODUCT

Re: 69 build about done

Re: 69 build about done
Great build but seriously, where did those lights come from? Are they originally for imports?

Re: 69 build about done
I don't know why, but I wish my 70 shortbed was a fleetside as a 2wd, but I really like a stepside bed on a 4x4. Yours looks great! Nice job!!

Re: 69 build about done
Nice looking truck, SWB step sides look great, don't really care for them as
2wd. I've owned 3 SWB 4x4 Steppers, but for a change I'm going with a SWB fleet this time. Looking Sharp ! Gary
