cool truck, same color as my '72
I got rid of my top also and had a bikini top made for it to keep the damn sun off my melon here in san diego.
I would keep the bumpers especially if they are welded to the frame.
get some of that rustoleum truck bed liner in the gallon can and do the bumpers with them, I used it on my bumpers and on the floor from the firewall to the tailgate, just brush it on after a good cleaning.
I'm in the process of putting a bb 402 in place of the sb350. we put it in the hole last weekend and I just finished cutting holes in the firewall so I could get the valve covers on.
I will take some pics and post later
