Looks like you have a good truck to start with. I also have a 62 that I have been working on for over a year. Check out my build when you can. Good luck!

Hey dano, Good luck on fixing the rust spots. I am repairing the door bottoms on mine this week. I like the your step bumper black, what did you use? I am thinking about doing mine black but not sure flat or gloss.

Cool project. Cant go wrong with a stepside. Looks complete too.

Hey whippinsaw, the paint is a flat black undercarriage rust prevention spray paint from Eastwood. It covers great and it is some really tough paint.

Looks like a fun project!

I just got a 63' long bed stepside. Mine is in similar condition as yours but with a small block of unknown year/displacement. It is light blue also. I don't mind the color but my g/f hates it(She's a Duke fan).

Originally I wanted to change the bed but it has grown on me. I will probably keep it.

Dano0579 · 04-01-2013, 07:35 AM

Dano0579 · 04-14-2013, 12:16 PM

Striped paint and rust from inside passenger door panel. Getting ready for a little bit of primer.
