Just wanted some chrome not to goddy so I had taillight and back up brackets chrome, chains, stainless mirror arms, the door latch mounted to cab is chrome, upper radiator chromed, tons of chrome or stainless bolts, T-case shifter handle, Installed Blazer tank. The glove box door, ashtray,radio delete, etc. Been fun doing this one But screwed up and lifted it to tall for me to get in, ( Im in a wheelchair ) Soooooo someday might sell or maybe just sit back and look at it in the shop. lol

lol i typed in 67-72 chevy trucks on EBAY and they popped up along with all the other parts ebay offers.

70 shorty · 12-19-2010, 05:23 PM

I don't know why, but I wish my 70 shortbed was a fleetside as a 2wd, but I really like a stepside bed on a 4x4. Yours looks great! Nice job!!

69step4x4 · 12-19-2010, 07:33 PM

Yea i like steps on 4x4 but love a shortwide 2wd. Thanks for the compliment

dbash · 02-04-2014, 10:46 PM

Great looking truck! Props to you as well, you are definitely the real deal.

**CUSTOM/10** · 02-05-2014, 08:21 AM

Nice looking truck, SWB step sides look great, don't really care for them as
2wd. I've owned 3 SWB 4x4 Steppers, but for a change I'm going with a SWB fleet this time.

Looking Sharp !
