[vegas80step]

a few weeks into body and paint:













I had them shave off the beds stake pockets, the holes at the ends of the bed both the back and the fronts you can see when the beds on... but I would know they weren't done and it would bug the hell out of me.. lol
also the hole sof rthe old tail lights. I left the chains.. I know a lot of people get rid of them but to me part of what makes a stepper a stepper is those chains...

the side mirrors, handles and all emblems are gone also...

and a few days of work on the bed wood... simple but took for ever...



I used oak kit with Minwax "English Chestnut" and a Cabot Gloss Spar Varnish.

2 coats of stain, 4 coats of varnish (all sides, inside holes) sanded 220 between coats, finish by having the guys that are painting my truck buff and polish.
