I knew the '67 stepper was going to be trouble when I decided to build it. I knew covering over the rust was going to bite me in the butt someday.

But, in the end, I knew I really wanted a much older truck and I believe I found it. I have decided to keep it a 1 ton but I am going to make her a dually flat bed. No diamond plate, just a good ole wooden bed. Old trucks that sport a long bed sream dually.

The plan is coming together and I will do this one chrome yellow. Gotta love bright colors on the classics!
