Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build

Interesting. Do those slide metal on metal or is there a bushing of some kind that will keep them free sliding for many years down the road?

They are designed to be greased. The pin holds the whole thing in place so if you ever need to re-grease it you can simply unscrew the pin lever and lube it up. The newer versions of these have a chrome knob instead of the lever pin. I'm going to shorten these and see if they will work. Going to paint it all and hope they aren't super noticeable.
