LOL....well thats exactly what happened to me! Wife is pissed but getting over it. As long as the truck makes it here as represented online I think I will be ok.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

you need to find someone that can set it up for you if you have not done one, clearances are very important if not set propley you will burn out the rear end

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I def wouldnt do it myself....I would take it to a speciality shop for sure to upgrade the gearing or just swap in a different rear end. I read about people putting in s10 rear ends and camaro rear ends.

My Wife still not talking to me after 32 year of being married, I really dont need to hear anything else, life is good:lol:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

LMAFO.......I know what you mean 20 years here next month....i told her this was my birthday/anniversary present to myself:lol:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I love the color of that stained wood...

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Oh yeah! I mos def Love the stain on that bed,...and thanks so much (dg and bugz) for all the advice and pics!! I could most likely go with steel/painted bed strips, and cheap wood and have it done in a couple weeks, but now after seeing these works of ART, I'm thinking seriously about buying up quality pieces here and there and taking my time on it. Patience, however is NOT my strongest quality..lol

I'd Love to be able to do all the work myself, but again, and to my advantage, I do have a few friends that are more than willing to help out with some of the work in which I'd be lost without,...not to mention you guys, with the advice and input. Thanks again!!! :flag:

Bugz, If you to decide to go with the 18"/20" wheel look, PLEASE contact me about your current rims if they are 5 lug and aren't already spoken for. :)

It should be 3.73 with the 3OTT. Either way, there will be no need to change the gear if you go with an LS/elec OD trans.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

That is exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks for the info!

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

wheels painted red:flag:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Very nice..can I have it? :lol:
Do you have a right side mirror that is actually usable?

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

thank you did you get your truck shipped?:truck:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Still working on it....trying to get a mechanic to go inspect it for me...and then trying to get a transport truck assigned for the pick up

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

what part of Califorina is the Truck in.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I do need a front bumper, but even though my truck is a '72, I'll actually be looking for a good deal on a '67-70 front bump. I just really like the '69 & '70 grille style.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

every time I see this picture I think that this is definitely one of my favorite trucks posted on here.

Would you post a pic or two of the interior?

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Its in Northen California 45 mnutes SE of Sacramento....The truck will be moved to Stockton, Ca for easier shipping/pickup on Thursday. I have a mechanic going to look at it for me this morning.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Real nice truck! I love that color

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

No...you don't need no stinking bumper...:lol: but seriously, if you do go bumper-less you have to cut the front of your frame off.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

that is what I was thinking in fact I lived in SO Cal for 40 year so I may be able to get you some help out if the truck is located in SO Cal.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Sid,

Here is a couple pictuers of the Front Bumper you'll be getting.
:flag:

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

OK OK...that is a damn nice bumper.....it will look great on your truck Sid.
Since the previous previous owner chopped the front frame I can't go back easily. :waah:

Bugz

are you going with a back bumper?

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Love this truck! nice color and stance

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Thank you....I found a mechanic on the internet who went and inspected the truck for me and took some pics. He told me it was in good shape with some minor paint issues. He said it was a nice truck over all and that if he had the money he would buy it for sure. He had a 74 fleetside himself. The truck is South East of Sacramento in the Sierra Mountain area. It is being relocated to a dealers warehouse in Stockton, Ca to make it easier for transport pickup. I finally got it assigned to a Hard enclosed trailer today for its journey across the country to South Florida by next Friday or Saturday. Cant wait to get my hands on it and see it in my garage!
