71HUGGER396 · 06-25-2009, 06:39 PM

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.

stllookn · 06-25-2009, 06:45 PM

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

Longhorn Man · 06-25-2009, 10:07 PM

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.

pritch · 06-25-2009, 10:58 PM

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.

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

**Thealien** · 06-29-2009, 08:32 AM

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.

HERE is a link to the thread

71HUGGER396 · 06-29-2009, 02:58 PM

Thanks, that looks good.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-15-2009, 09:47 AM

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

JohnC · 07-15-2009, 10:07 AM

Yeah that's for sure.

toms68cst · 07-15-2009, 10:08 AM

Sweet 68. That's just the way I like them. Any under hood shots?

71HUGGER396 · 07-15-2009, 10:51 AM

Here are some more pics. I got the gas tank back in, put the mirrors back on, removed my spare tire, (my boy hated that), cleaned the rubber mat, door panels, and put on my other rallye wheels and bigger tires.

71HUGGER396 · 07-15-2009, 10:56 AM

Found this while searching 50th trucks. What a great truck! Do you still have it? How did the 2/4 drop work out? If you have pics lets see them!

Kurt L · 07-15-2009, 11:32 AM

stllookn · 07-15-2009, 12:33 PM

I had to have a stepside, when I was searching for my truck, but it had to have a sidemount spare. I even had a tire-mount fender & bracket spotted, on a junkyard special, just in case the truck I ended up with was one without the sidemount.

Sidemounts forever !!!!!

Longhorn Man · 07-15-2009, 04:38 PM

for the record... I still hate you!

I'll trade you both my heaps for it... deal?

(if you jumped on it, you'd be an idiot)

JohnC · 07-15-2009, 04:48 PM

Those other wheels, and tires look great on there! I'm on the fence about the spare. I don't really like it on there, but then it looks like something's missing since the fender is concave for it. It's a catch 22
